Hi all,
My wife is having difficulty in finding a professional status referee she has known for three years for her application.
My son, 27, (by previous marriage) is a chartered Accountant, could he be considered as a suitable person?
regards,
roy.

Relatives not allowed.
However, the professional referee can (if I am not mistaken) be of anynationality.
Someone from her home country?

You can use 'Project Manager' as your professional referee.
Director/Manager/Personnel Officer of a VAT registered Company is acceptable as refree
Hope this help..

Could the professional referee be an unmarried partner of the applicant? I can't see it but neither can I see it expressly not allowed....

Hi,
The professional referee can be of any nationality ?
One referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing, such as a minister of religion, civil servant or a member of a professional body, e.g. accountant or solicitor (but not representing you with this application). A list of acceptable professional persons can be found on our website
The above statement was mentioned on the AN guide.

Your one referee "must be" a british citizen... If both referees are british citizen .. No Issue
but One of yourrefree must me professional ( they are mot much restricted about the professional referee BTW) and if this professional referee in Not British Citizen he/she also acceptable as referee.
e.g Your first referee is british citizen and unemployed he/she acceptable
your second referee is project manager in a company but his/her nationality is not British .. he/she also acceptable

Manager or director of any VAT Registered company are also acceptable as referee. So most of the companies are VAT registered... I choose by work colleagues as my referee, one of then was BC and even not a manager, while the other is project manager but not BC. I asked NCS guys he said its fine, as there is no fixed list for professional referee. I believe you will be fine.
