Citizenship Referees

[runie80]

Hi Everyone.

I am having a problem with "Citizenship Referees" as we have moved places and do not know anyone who is willing to be a referee at my current place.

1>Would my manager at my previous Job be fine ? Provided I contact her and hopefully she agrees.
(whats worrying me is if she refuses which she can do if she wants to do what are my other options ? )
2> for second reference someone from HR ?

its a silly thing. asking for all these references.
I am quite stressed because of this. Also had had a job offer which they rejected because my EEA family permit stamp has expired.
I explained them that i do not renew the visa and i am entitled to work but no joy.

Cannot wait for this thing to be over.

Hoping if someone can help whats the best way to sort out these referee problem.

Many thanks

Can "business analyst" be second referee ?

For a second referee profession is not important. What is important is that he/she is over 25 years old and is British Citizen.

Many Milan69. You are a star. I will go sleep bit better tonight.

Also another question.

I have been in employment since last 6 Years with no gaps.

Since September 2013 I became self employed.
I have contacted HMRC for registration and TAX (unfortunately have not made any serious profits as I expected . The business takes time to build ). They advised me to contact in April as i have not been trading that log for them to consider self assessment.

I can provide my business transactions and statements would that be enough ?
or do I need to contact HMRC for some information ?

Once again much much appreciate your help. I am bit stressed because of this if I am honest.

On UKBA web site it says:
If you are self-employed or a businessperson, you should provide evidence from HM Revenue & Customs confirming that you have paid tax over the relevant period.

On what basis are you applying for naturalization and have you been employed before September 2013?

yes i was employed all throught until September. Have all payslips & P60s and proof of employment etc.


Married to EEA citizen (my Wife is Polish)
I was issued with a residence card (Family member of an EEA national in May 09) Valid till May 14
I am in UK since Nov 2007 on EEA Family permit
My wife applied her WRS and got it.

so I am applying on the basis of

1. Apply after 6 years in the UK. This includes 5 years of exercising treaty rights + 1 year with PR. You will need to provide proof of the 5 years (similar to what is needed in EEA3/EEA4 application). Form AN has a specific section (Q2.4-2.6) for such application.

I can not give you the right answer and I suggest you ask senior members or start a new thread under Self Employed.
By the way your referees should have known you personally for at least three years.

Yes I checked it and also contacted HM revenue.The person who answered the phone responded with
" you started your business in September 13 so its too early for us to assess if there is any tax liability. contact us in April 14" I have not made any profits so there is no tax liability I am just wondering what to do in this situation. Any one in similar situation ?
