Could someone clarify if the Professional referee can be of any nationality ? I have my Project Manager who have been knowing me for more than 3 years here and I am thinking to put him as a Professional referee .
It will be really helpful if someone could confirm if I can make him as professional referee please ?

Hi Marshall,
Thanks for your reply, the british referee should be a british citizen for 3 years or no matter when they got the citizenship ? I have a friend who got the citizenship last year however I know him for many years.
I am surprised .. I told you already that professional refree doesnt need to know you for 3 yrs. You are asking the same question again in same postnm wrote:Hi,
Have both of the referee should be known for minimum of three years ?
Appreciated if someone could confirm this please ?
I believe you are mistaken. Both referees must have known the applicant for at least 3 years or they cannot act as referees. This is irrespective of whether they are the professional referee or not. Also to note, the referees who is a British Citizen must also be over the age of 25.IndiMarshall wrote:I am surprised .. I told you already that professional refree doesnt need to know you for 3 yrs.

They have not updated Form AN, nor, curiously, is this specifically mentioned in the Form AN guidance. It is however specifically stated in the general information on the government website 6.3.7.3:IndiMarshall wrote: I am sorry you seem to be correct. Have they updated FORM AN now like how they have updated for English Lang Assesment ? or have I conveniently didn't bother to read it ?
This should really be in the guidance. I think the only reason I knew about this was this forum!www.gov.uk wrote:6.3.7.3
For adult applications each referee should have known the
applicant personally for at least 3 years.
