Quick questions on referee

Post by gnua88 » Mon Dec 19, 2016 12:05 pm

Hey Guys (and Girls),

The time has come for me to apply for naturalisation and I am super psyched (yes!!!), however I do have a couple of questions regarding the referees.

For the professional one, can that be my dentist? I know dentist is on the list but my dentist is private so I'm wondering whether if that changes things.

If he's a no-go, what about somebody from the bank? It says "bank official" on the list - does that mean like a branch manager or something?

Thank you.

Dentist is a Dentist as long as they are qualified etc and have known you for at least 3 years. The list does not state 'NHS Dentist' does it??

I do have a question now...
Is being employed a requirement for the application? Or does it increase one's chance of success?
I've been in full-time employment for the past 5 years but (without going into details) I might be in between the jobs soon. So, I'm wondering how it would affect the application.

Thank you.
