Awesome :) I was actually kind of surprised that he wasn't already citizen when I saw this.

Very happy for Alfie.

As someone else who is foreign, it's not as easy to qualify for citizenship as some might think. Being here on a work visa no longer counts as time towards your citizenship requirements, for example.
