referee (if there is nobody?)
is that all ?

3: Is that possible to travel to another country during the process(Can i keep my passport) I plan to study in Switzerland (Max about 2months)
will it be affect? (I might be unemplyed in the UK if I do this plan)

4: during the process what if you became unemplyeed? will it affect ?

5: here is the tricky question (please separate this question from above)
I have a job offer in France and would like to take, for example If I take this job after I applied the naturalisation (and if I can have my passport during the process, I would get visa from french embassy. and I may be working already in France. I will keep my address in the UK till I get my citizenship, passport) I know that the person is supposed to intend to live in the uk for future, and yes in a sense I am planning to live in the uk but I would like to take the job opportunity and there is a time limit for the company to wait for me so....If I could do this I would do it.

Please advise
I know i asked before something like this but tell me again !
