Referees for me and child

Post by arya_uk » Sat Sep 07, 2024 11:27 pm

Hi all,

I did try to go through many threads on referee etc still it was confusing hence I created a new topic for my queries, sorry to repeat the question if it has been answered. Admins if you feel this has been answered yo can delete the topic, thank you.

Currently I am applying for the naturalisation for myself and my daughter. We got our Settlement status in 2021, we didn't thought about applying but we decided its better to get the citizenship.
Cleared the life in the UK test, no need of English as I have a degree from the UK university.
Now the question is of referee
1. Does the referee need to be a solicitor or doctor or accountant? I have a friend's friend who is a Physician associate who is British by birth who is ready to to provide the details an be the referee, is it okay to get from him?
2. Second referee would be my friends wife, is that okay to get her reference, she's over 25.
3. For my daughter who is in year 4, if the teacher denies to be a referee can I get the same referee as mine?

Regarding the e visa : Should we apply for e visa or no need to apply?

Thank you in advance

See also Referees.

1. No harm in trying.

2. Should be okay.

3. Yes.

If they are not satisfied, then they may request another one.

May as well apply for evisas as citizenship applications may take a while.

Thank you very much @Vinny. Today I did speak with the school teacher they are not willing to provide the reference as they are hesitant to provide the personal details, as it's understandable. Now I would get my friends reference for me and my child, once again thank you.
