Changes to UK Citizenship Policy

The UK Home Office has withdrawn refusals of citizenship in good character cases. Four judicial review claims against the Home Office have been resolved following a High Court hearing on June 9, 2026.

In three of the cases (GUN, NEA, and HCH), the Home Office withdrew the original refusals of citizenship and revised its decisions.

What does this mean for you? If you have applied for UK citizenship and received a refusal due to good character, you may be eligible for a review of your case.
