Yes. Make sure she complies with all relevant requirements. Feel free to ask any questions here.

Hello, just completing the citizenship form. have a couple of questions.

on the previous immigration question, do you include applications for visit visa (even if they were refused).

on the 2no referees, who do i need to get?

i have a director of a company she has worked for the last few years.
and another a work colleague of hers.

both are british citizens & both over 25.

Re: Citizenship Application - proof of living

What proof of living in the uk do we need to provide.
the form says bank statements & household bills are not suitable proof?

For UK ILR holders their passport with stamps is sufficient.

The TLScontact website experiences numerous technical issues. You need to try again at another time.

If you are scanning the referee declaration, do you have to sign the back of the photo?
