-for 2 referees-i have a friend (Turkish nationality) who has known me for over 13 years, works as a chef and business partner (British, engineer), have known me for 5 years, both over 25-do these 2 people qualify as referees?

-entry stamp to my country for 31/5/22 from passport is missing-if I get letter from my previous employer stating I was employed during that time with them and I was on holiday along with payslip for May&June 22 and/or flight ticket copy, would that be enough to prove 5 year residence? all other stamps for absences can be seen in the passport

-anything needed to prove future intention requirement?

-we might move a house when the application is with home office-could the documents be returned (if successful) to a post office/friend's house?

-will they ask why i didn’t apply for passport as i got my ILR more than 3 years ago and had a chance to apply 2 years ago?

-my ILR BRP expires in the end of 2024 like others-if my application is still with Home Office during this time, would this be an issue (I am guessing I just need to renew my BRP while application is being processed)?

-what is the current lead time for citizenship application?

-Anything I might be missing?

can I then use my 2nd business partner as referee-he is a consultant researcher with top uni in uk

first referee is a head of industrial design in large aerospace company in UK

for professional reference I am using my business partner (head of industrial design, have known me for over 3 years, British and over 25)

for second reference, can I possibly use my other Turkish friend who recently became a British citizen (over 25, have known me more than 3 years)?

hi all,
for life in uk test reference number, I have the following
PSI/090920/LN125LC25/DMQTQEUR (numbers changed), test taken in Sep 2020 in London, but the application form is saying 'If you took your test after 17 December 2019, your reference number will be in the email sent to you with your result, it will be in this format: ABC/111111/111111/111111111'
I am looking at the wrong ref number? I have submitted the same number as part of ILR application too. That is the right number to use.

thanks

in terms of 'entry stamp to my country for 31/5/22 from passport is missing-if I get letter from my previous employer stating I was employed during that time with them and I was on holiday along with payslip for May&June 22 and/or flight ticket copy, would that be enough to prove 5 year residence? all other stamps for absences can be seen in the passport'
''Nothing required. Just add the detail in the form, including the missing stamp. There is space in the form at the end I think to add a note or simply add a cover letter explaining. None of the documents you state are needed. You are overthinking. UKVI has access to all your travel information''

when I am filling the application, it is asking for Proof of living in the UK for Mr xx for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen and If you do not have your passport or it was not stamped when you entered the UK, you need to include letters (for example, from your employer or government department) as proof-i am guessing this is asking for entry stamp to UK (which is there), not the entry stamp to my country?

and it is also asking for 2 referee declarations-does filling there personal details in the application enough (address, passport number, date of birth etc), or I need to provide a letter from them?
