Closed petition Refund all or part of citizenship fees when an application is rejected

I've recently been refused citizenship after paying fees of £1269. I believe that it is unfair for citizenship fees to kept in full when an application is rejected.

More details

The fee is too high for it to be acceptable for the Government to reject an application and keep these fees. The Government should refund all or part of citizenship fees when an application is rejected.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
