Thank you.
Also, could you please advise on the referees as well.
Two university lecturers agreed to act as a referee for my son British Citizen Application.
Is it OK for this?
I did not have any my sons teachers/GP reference.

As far as they know the child (and at least one of the is British) that will be OK.

A university lecturer or up will be OK. I will be using a university lecturer as my professional referee.

Thanks.
What about university researcher?
Researcher is above level of lecturer.
Please advise.

It depends. In my university a "researcher contract" is not above a lecturer. Professor is above lecturer, therefore it will be OK. Don't overthink the process. You only need one professional referee. As long as the researcher is over 25 and British you are fulfilling the requirements.

Hi There,
Please advise on this MN1 question!
Are either of the parents of the child (as stated in this application) applying for naturalisation as a British citizen on an AN form?
I believe it is NO-
Because we (both parents) already got the citizenship a while ago.

Then the correct answer is no.

Thank you much for prompt response.
I almost finished the application and I have doubt on this? could you please advise on this.
I have completed the MN1 form for my son and at the end of application they asked for the following OPTIONS
---------
--- I am the applicant
---I am a representative of the applicant and have been authorised to act on their behalf and have discussed and confirmed the contents of this application with them.
-----
Shall I tick first one - I am the applicant?

You can go with either you're confident with. It doesn't matter.

Hi There,
Could you please advise on this?
I have submitted the MN1 form for my son last week.
The two referees agreed, and one referee gave a signature. But the second referee, due to sickness, can’t be able to provide a signature on the form now. My son has the biometrics this Saturday.
What I can do now? How can we proceed this?
Is there any alternative way?

Other referee should be extremely sick to not be able to sign. Have you suggested going over to the house for a wet signature?

Application wouldn't fly without one. You would be requested for an alternative referee from the HO. Application might now be slightly delayed because of this development.

Thank you so much.
The referee is unable to give a sign at this stage.
However, I have managed to get another new referee. But I already submitted the application.
I can't be modify any more.
How can I submit this new referee details and form?
What is HO?
Please advise.
