Hi all;
At last I am nearing my eligibility to apply for naturalisation, path T2G 5y + 12 month on ILR.
I have a question on referee requirements, who would qualify as a "professional persons - bank or building society official"? Would VP level employee at an investment bank who is not an accountant qualify as a referee?

That should be fine, qualifies as "bank official".

Thanks alterhase58
One more question please: Is it mandatory that one of the referees be a professional person?
In other words is it ok to have two referees, both over 25, and both UK citizens, but none of those a professional person?

One of the referees must be a professional - "bank official" counts as a professional.
Please refer to the instruction on the form:

Refer to the list of accepted professions - p25:

No - your passport(s) with stamps in/out covering the residency period are sufficient as you are on UK ILR.

I started my application, can you advise on the following question: "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?"
should I list here my Student Visa Application and T2G application? i don't exactly remember the dates...

You are free to travel.
You are only British once you attend your ceremony and not from when you get the approval letter.

Dear all;
I have just noticed that I forgot to upload "the third party verification checks consent form" via UKVI

my application is submitted, will this be a cause to reject my naturalisation application?
Or would a case worker notify me about the missing document (if needed)?
please advise.

I have just received an email from the UKVI, I sought it was decision email, but it is "UK Visas and Immigration Survey", should I expect to receive decision soon?
I saw in some posts people mentioned that the survey was followed by decision letter or email shortly.
please advise
