Usually someone who owns an Off Licence shop will hold a personal licence, i.e. permitted to sell alcohol.

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
I would appreciate any guidance on the selection of my professional referee as I apply using the UKF form from the USA. I looked at the list of professions and see that "Social Worker" is on the list. Would a marriage counselor/therapist be considered a social worker ?
Qualifications and Associations:
Washington State Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)
MA in Psychology from Some University
Member, American Association for Marriage & Family Therapy (AAMFT)
Member, Washington Association for Marriage & Family Therapy (WAMFT)
Another option is someone who is a teacher at an alternative (non state sponsored or funded) school and he has no professional certification nor belong to any teacher organization. I assume that although he is a teacher, he would not qualify.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
Hello Everyone
I got a question in relation to referee for my wife Naturalization Application .
1. We got British citizen
2. Am I right in saying can we use a manger/director of a VAT registered company as a professional body as a referee?
All the information/ advice given I will appreciate it
Thanks

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
Can a radiographer (member of Health and Care Professions Council) be a professional referee? She works at a private hospital in London, not NHS.

Hello,
would a retired police officer be regarded as a professional person?
Thanks!

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
Hi Kathof,
I do not think that a retired Police Officer is acceptable.
Reading through the list of acceptable occupations I noted, when making my application, that an "Officer of the armed services (active or retired)" was an acceptable referee.
I therefore took this specific reference to 'active or retired' which is not repeated elsewhere as meaning that other occupations must be currently employed.
Hope that is of help but just my take on things.

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
The professional referee can be any nationality. However, does he or she need to be living in the UK in order to qualify as professional referee?
My ex colleague who has moved out of the UK end of last year, but he is a chartered accountant with ACCA now living in the US. I am not sure if he is qualified as my professional referee.
My another referee is British friend who is currently living in the UK, which I suppose should be fine.
I wonder if anyone can help to confirm about my professional referee please.

Is a IFOA (british actuarial society) qualified actuary considered an accepted professional? I know lots of actuaries but no accountants

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
IFOA is a professional body so yes.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
Health care profession such as “Physiotherapist” registered with “Health Care Professionals Council” is an acceptable profession?
What about UK Master degree holders working in LTD. company as a manager can they act as a professional refree?

Re: Accepted Professions (sticky)
I think anyone registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) is ok, but please double check. One of my referees was a radiographer registered with the HCPC and that was ok.smithman11 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 2:43 am Health care profession such as “Physiotherapist” registered with “Health Care Professionals Council” is an acceptable profession?

In the accepted list of professions, they have few listed related to ltd companies. If I remember correctly a manager at a ltd company is an accepted referee. My passport application counter signatory was a manager at a ltd company and that was ok.
