Another quick question if that’s ok?

Can a retired teacher be a referee?

Hi,

My husband is going to apply for naturalisation after receiving ILR. I have a query about the professional referee - could we use my cousin who is a teacher or would this count as a relative of my husband?

Hi,

I am in a very similar situation.

Did you get an answer on this from elsewhere?

Thanks, Laura.

Apologies, I didn’t know I should post on the same thread even though the topic is different.

Hi all, Just looking for confirmation re applying for ILR for my husband while I’m on maternity leave. I am the one meeting the financial requirement as my husband does not earn enough.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much for your confirmation.

Just to further clarify..

5 year qualifying period 2/5/14 - 2/5/19 (minus 28 days = 5/4/19) therefore we can apply after 5/4/19.

I really appreciate your help and advice at this stressful time.

Thanks,

Laura

Hi all, Continuation from above. Does anyone have the specific government guidance on applying 28 days prior to completion of the 5 year period? A solicitor today has advised ghat we should wait till my husband has reached 5 years exactly (2/5/19) before we apply but we want to apply as early as ...

We saw a solicitor today who advised us to apply on 2/5/19 but before 13/5/19. We want to ...

Thank you for your quick answer.

Hi all, My husband is due to apply for ILR in April this year. We are going to go for the face to face appointment as we did for his FLR application.
