Re: Residence Requirements Question

Should be 2007 - whilst it wasn't your intention at the time but you still stayed on. Thanks for the quick response. Anyone else with any other views? As alterhase58 says, I would put 2007 when you arrived as a student. The golden rule with any applications is to keep your responses consistent betw...

Re: New Application - Professional Referee Information Required by Form

Thank you, Ancestor. However, I don't see where the second referee must hold a passport if British. Clearly the form is structured that they must have passport if British, however my understanding of the guidance was that only the non-professional referee needed to be a UK passport holder. At this ...

Re: New Application - Professional Referee Information Required by Form

For the second referee it asks if they are a British citizen. If 'yes' is clicked it won't let you move on without entering their passport number. In the section header it does not mention a passport for the second referee. I'm guessing this is a mistake in creating the form, and was hoping this co...

Re: New Application - Professional Referee Information Required by Form

Thanks for the reply. It won't let you move to the next screen without entering a passport number for both referees. This is frustrating as it states only the first reference needs to be a passport holder. I'll just ask and hope for the best. As a teacher, I wouldn't like sharing that information, ...

Hi, Does anybody knows if the British Referee must sign same as the signature in the passport? Many thanks
How will HO know how the Referee normally signs, as you do not need the Referees passport for the Referee Declaration other than their passport number?
