Current status: Rejected

Rejection code: duplicate (see below for details)

Petition Action

Give citizenship to migrant doctors, nurses and paramedics employed by the NHS.

Petition Details

Grant citizenship to the migrant NHS staff who are risking their lives for us and extend this to their immediate family. Just extending visas is not good enough.

Additional Information

These people are putting their lives on the line to fight coronavirus. They can't give more to this country and deserve the right to live here, much like the Gurkhas.
