My referee is a photographer but somehow didn't meet the criteria and now I have no one else to ask to do it for me; what are my options if I don't know anyone? Even if I find someone, will I have to wait 10 weeks again?
Everywhere I looked people say all you have to send is your passport and citizenship certificate but I've applied through GOV and it says I need my birth certificate and my parent's birth certificate? It's gonna take a while to get them sent here and then translated. Can I still apply for the right...
On the GOV's website after applying for a passport and logging back in to see what documents I have to send ( https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/track/ ) And that's what it says: 'Applicant’s documents Send the following: full birth or adoption certificate the passport used to enter the UK any curr...

Not familiar with the guidance you quote. Here is an example of an (anonymised) employers letter which was used in an application (no issues). Note employers will have different policies as to what they write in a "reference type" letter - contact the HR department. Must be on employer letter head ...
I mean, if I ever decide to move to another country even in 5 years, there's still no guarantee I'm coming back. And I don't mean days or weeks but months or even a year after
Well, I have an undergraduate degree and I'm a professional, I just want to do master's too. So, I'm never allowed to leave then? Because I don't see how I could prove that I have an intention to come back and I'll be too old for a contract like that soon
Because I like it here and I want to come back to the same place after the contract - if I move out, someone else will take over. Then what about leaving after being granted citizenship? Wouldn't it be pretty much the same thing if I went right after applying for the passport? If so, how long should...
I'm going to contact a previous employer and ask them to write me a letter to include as residency evidence but the advice on this isn't detailed enough: ". Dated and signed letter from an employer, confirming the duration of a period of UK based employment which has been undertaken, and confirmatio...
My plan is to prepare documents on my own but I don't trust myself to submit them all correctly; I worry I might put the wrong information in there because I struggle with concentration and I did taxes wrong once. But companies I've called only offer phone service or ask me to send them an already f...
Hi. I haven't been earning enough to pay national insurance contributions and from what I've read, my application will be more closely looked at because of that. But what does it mean in practice? Should I explain in a cover letter why I didn't work full-time?
Hi, I have questions about referees: 1. I read that a photographer can act as a referee. I've previously worked with a photographer who has his own business but I was never paid for it, we worked on 'time for print' basis - does it matter? 2. I read that referees have to sign a declaration. Do I pri...
I came here in 2015 and then went to university until 2018, I was then unemployed for about 3 months and then worked part-time but I don't think I was getting payslips most of the time. I have a few but they won't cover the whole 4 years period (do they have to?). I don't think I could use utility b...
