Hi All,
Can you please advise if I can use the following as two referee's for my daughter. (both parents have ILR)
* Familiy friend ( British National)
* CEO of my company ( British National)
Hello,
The answer to your question is in guidance notes. Basically, one referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child e.g. teacher, minister of religion, health visitor. For my children, I used minister of religion and one family friend who is director of a company.
See this below from the guidance notes:
One referee must be a person of any nationality who has professional standing,
such as a minister of religion, civil servant or a member of a professional body,
for example, accountant or solicitor (but not representing you with this
application). A list of acceptable professional persons can be found on our
website. The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport and
either a professional person or over the age of 25.
- If the application is for a child, one referee should be a professional who has
engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health
visitor, social worker or minister of religion. The other referee must normally be
the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over
the age of 25.
- Each referee must not be:
---related to you or the child
----related to the other referee
----your solicitor or agent representing you with this application
----employed by the Home Office
