You can apply when the 12 months wait time is completed, i.e. 20 Feb 2021 - or if you are married to a British citizen apply now. You can start inputting your details but don't "submit".
Does the referee have a professional qualification? If so then yes. If not he can be the other referee, if he qualifies to be a referee.

Membership of a professional body (such as accountant, lawyer, ...) - not uni degree alone.
