referee requirements

Post by burcu b » Mon Jan 04, 2021 12:30 pm

Hi,
Can someone share the referee requirements info link on gov.uk website, I cannot find information about it in guidance pdf. I would love to share it with a colleague.

- do both referees need to be BC ?
- do I need to know them for 5 years ?
- can my BC husband be my reference ? ( I assume not)

No. Only the non professional needs to be British.
- do I need to know them for 5 years ?
3 years.
- can my BC husband be my reference ? ( I assume not)
No! Your referees cannot be related to the applicant or to each other, either by blood or marriage.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
