Referee - teacher

[Rob1980]

Hi everyone,

I'm a European citizen applying to UK naturalisation with EU Settled Status.
In 2017 I left my job and return to my home country for four months before coming back to the UK. From early 2017 to mid 2018 I was looking for a new job.
I was expecting to find job shortly and therefore did not register as a jobseeker and was not receiving any allowance. I have emails of my job search and interviews for the whole time. Will that be enough to justify my residence?
Also is it ok that I did not have Comprehensive Sickness Insurance when looking for a job?

Thanks,
Rob

Hello

During this time (roughly 18 months between early 2017 to mid-2018) can you produce any solid proof address such as council tax, utility bill (gas, electricity, water), any letter from DVLA, NHS, HMRC?

Emails you sent or received won't work as they can be sent from anywhere in the world. You don't want it to be argued that you were out of the UK for 18 months.

Many thanks for the response - I really appreciate the help!

I was subletting a room and the bills were included in the rent so I don't have any official proof of address apart from bank statements. Would bank statements showing my daily transactions (supermarket, tube) in London work ?

The job search emails are also showing that the interviews were arranged in London.

Hi there, I am applying for UK citizenship and there is a part in the application form about parents' details. I am not speaking with my parents anymore and I do not know their exact date and place of birth. Is it ok to leave it blank ? Do I need to add notes to explain my situation? Thanks!

Where you don't have the information you can put "not known".

Does anyone have any views on this ?

Would official disclosure of travels from Home Office borders system (OP02 Passenger History) be acceptable to justify my trips and that I was present in the UK when looking for a job ?

Hello,

I am applying for british citizenship and I am struggling to find a professional referee. I see “teacher” is listed as acceptable professional. Would a drama workshop teacher be suitable as teacher? Or does it have to be a public teacher such as a university professor?

Thanks

It would need to be a teacher who is a registered teacher with the appropriate professional regulatory body.
