I completed my ILR on 10th Jan'23, so I am planning to apply for naturalisation soon on 11th Jan'24 (1 year anniversary of ILR).
Its sad that I have exhausted all avenues of finding a suitable referee for my application (referee #1 - professional), as the only people who I know are from IT background, and never dealt with other professionals over a wider period of time that I can use for my application (as per gov website).
People I do know, some of them are IT contractors that have their own company set up, who I know come some close to below list of professionals as on gov website -
Please may I get some advise what needs to be checked with these professionals to verify if any of them qualify for being my professional referee? Are they acceptable as a referee in general by UKVI?
Thanks.
