Document checklist

Hi,

I just got the ILR today. I'm married to british citizen, i read on gov.uk website and they said that i don't have to wait for 12 months to apply ? So i can apply straight away, is it correct ?

2) On application, they requires 2 referees. They both must know me for at least 3 years ? one is normal referee i.e friend and another one should be a professional like like manager or director at my work ?

Thank you very much

1. Yes you can, provided you meet all the requirements of the 3 years residence, including being physically present at the start of the 3 year qualifying period and you meet the absence limits. Suggest wait till you have your brp as you need it to apply.

2. Yes re professional referee.

Hi,
I got couple questions and hope you can give me some advice

I just got ILR card before christmas, my spouse is british born . From what i've read on the gov website, i don't have to wait for a year to apply for the citizenship. Is this correct ?

2) While filling application form, they asked me to fill in 2 referees who have known me last 3 years ? What is the requirements for referees ? Do they have to provide their photos as well and sign on the declaration form ?

Thank you very much
