Referee - Director of ltd company i have shares in

Good afternoon,

I had a bit of issues finding the second referee (of professional standing) so I have decided to go with my business partner who owns 50% of shares and is the director of LTD company where I am also listed as a director with rest 50% of shares. Would this referee work? I doesn't fall under the HO 'No's' list but still want to double checked whether this would be sufficient and credible.

Thank you for your help

It should be fine as long as you are not related

Hi everyone,

I am hesitating on competing my application for the residency part. Back in 2015 I have left the UK in March, came back in May for few days and left again in until end of July. The absents doesn’t exceed the allowance over the qualifying period however I am lacking proof of residence for this period of course. Other than this I have all relevant documents confirming employment and NI contributions for all 2014 the rest of 2015 until today including proof of business ownership since 2017. I have been in the UK for almost 11 years, i have studied here and now co own my business therefore I believe I can proof strong ties to the UK but I don’t want to risk my application being declined because of this period. I have just left for couple of months to travel and visit my family and friends. Can someone please advice whether this could influence the outcome of my application?

When did you get PR ?

I got the document last year but the date I acquired permanent residence status is 29 June 2017.

Thank you & I look forward to hearing from you.

If you managed to get PR in 2017 and your circumstances in 2015 were not an issue, there is nothing that will stop you proceeding with BC application

Thank you for your time and help, much appreciated
