Hi ,
I don't have yet information about my 10-year work history, waiting for a letter from HMRC.
Can my partner still apply for Citizenship without me, she has been in the UK for over 5 years , never worked here (full-time mother) and received ILR 12 months before , is it better to apply together? Does she still count as a dependent of me?
Thank you

There is no "citizenship dependent" concept.
Each application must meet the requirements individually on their own.

Thank you, if she gets the citizenship, can I still apply via the same route i.e ILR 12 months?

Yes, either as spouse of BC based on 3 years without 1 year ILR if she is British at that point or 5 year route with 1 year ILR.

Also, have you tried getting your work history yourself online?

Hi ,
Can a Development Manager work for IBM can act as the first referee? Not my direct manager.
Thank you

People tend to go by this list a lot when it comes to acceptable professions:
https://www.gov.im/media/624353/listofreferees.pdf
The most broad ranging one which I can see is 'Manager of a VAT registered company' - which to my understanding means if you hold any managerial capacity in any company which is VAT registered in the UK, then you are on the list.
Employer details last 10 years HMRC

I received the docs from HMRC, but mostly NI records. They also contain my past employer names ( just a part of it, not the full name, still I can identify ), NI contributions, full earing for the year with joined and left dates. I'm applying online, do I have to send these records or only if requested ?

Disclose the basic details, dates and employers and NI number - you don't need to show earnings or NI paid.

Thank you . Do I have to mention part-time/temporary/permanent/fulltime in the Job title? E.g Waiter (Temporary - Part-time)

No, you simply need to state all employers.
Don't overthink the process, just answer the questions as asked.

Thank you , do we need a cover letter? Applying online using `Existing service` to send docs.

There is no need for a cover letter - unless you feel something needs further explanation - however the application in itself is straightforward.

Why are you using the existing service rather than the new service?

I am surprised that you are getting an existing service as an option. Please do not use that and instead choose new service.

For documents section, I can see, `Proof of living in the UK `. What kind of document do I need to provide for this?

Isn't existing service more convenient , just post all the docs ? rather than going to Corydon

There are many more centres than just Croydon.
By using the new service, you get to keep hold of all your original documents and passport(s), which means you can travel if you wish to.
Posting your documents to HO means you get them back usually shortly before or after a decision is made, which could take a couple/few months.

We received approval letter and ceremony letters
The ceremony is on May . So are we now BC or still on ILR until we attend the ceremony?
Can we apply for passports using online method after receiving the BC certificates ?
Thank you
