Naturalization : Student Visa then Spouse Visa/ UK Referee

Post by yazsoph » Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:56 am

Hello :)

I have few questions and I hope I can find the answers here.

I arrived to the UK on Student Visa in May 2011 then My I got married December 2011, My husband is British Citizen.

I got my ILR in January 2014 and want now to apply for the citizenship. I have read in another forum that Students Visa can count to the Naturalization qualifying period as it was a lawful stay , Is this True?

Regarding the Professional referees:

Do they have to be based in the UK ?

I know a British Engineer but he lives in Germany , is this acceptable ?

Can a British Retired Policeman be accepted as a referee?

I also know a Teacher but not a school teacher , an English teacher for non native speakers who has the ESOL certificate, Will she be acceptable as a referee ?

Looking forward to hearing back with your replies :)

Thanks a lot.
