Ex Asylum Seeker jailed - took Life in UK Test for his mate

[Dedworth]

A former asylum seeker who was given British citizenship by taking a 'Life In the UK Test' was in jail today after he was caught trying to sit the same test for another immigrant.

Barzan Sabah, 28, attempted to get citizenship as a 'favour' for a friend who was expected to fail the test.

The college student had booked himself in to take the 45-minute exam, which costs £35 and asks questions about various aspects of UK life.

I'm surprised it's taken them this long to catch someone. He should be stripped of citizenship and deported.

Whilst not condoning this serious transgression of British Immigration Rules :nono-1-1:- nor, for that matter, being in possession of the full facts that led the Iraqi to commit such a foolish "error of judgement" on behalf of a person he'd never even met - it is to be hoped that the offender's ailing mother ... whom defence counsel claims his client supports ... doesn't succumb to her illness during the time her son is "banged up inside"!

:iagree:

What concerns me is the ID he used to register for the test.
My wife had to show passport and Home office docs just to register for the test.
