Here's a run-down of what the questions regarding referees are:
Your first referee.
Referees must:
not be a relative, solicitor or agent of the applicant
not be related to the other referee
not be employed by the Home Office
know or have known the applicant personally for more than 3 years
they are willing to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant
advise the Home Office of any reason why the applicant should not be registered
Referees must also not have been convicted of an imprisonable offence. A single non-custodial sentence may be disregarded if (conditions listed).
Give your first referee’s details. This referee must be the holder of a British Citizen passport (and either a professional person or over the age of 25).
Title (choose from Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, Doctor or Reverend; as they’ve written out “Doctor” in full I’m not sure if they also take it to include people with non-medical PhD degrees)
Given names, family name, gender, date of birth, address, Have they lived at this address for more than 3 years? (yes—if you say ‘no’ it says “Please provide all other addresses the referee has lived in for the past 3 years, Maximum of 500 characters”)
“Additional details for your first referee”:
What is their phone number?
What is their email address?
What is their profession?
Does your referee have a British passport? Passport number
How does the referee know the applicant?
Your second referee—given names, family name, gender, date of birth, address, Have they lived at this address for more than 3 years (if No, other addresses required as above)
Additional details for your second referee (as above)
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
