Application Referees

[fqvision]

Hi amber
please advise
my one reference is Bank Clark
second is work colleague?

is that acceptable?

Bank clerk is fine as the first referee.
Your second referee has to be British and over 25 years.
Both referees should have known you for 3 years.

Hi Milan

They don't need to mention that but that is one of HO requirements.

with the table shown on page 16 of the Booklet AN);
• they have known the applicant personally for more than 3 years;
• they are willing to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant;
• they will advise the Home Office of any reason why the applicant should not be naturalised

They also have to write on section 5 how they know the applicant their age and profession.
