Do I count as related for second referee?

[Cafm1992]

Hello,

Thank you in advance for any advice.

I plan to act as the second referee for my girlfriends sister to register as British citizen, I am concerned that the home office may construe this as being related to the applicant.

I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 5.5 years and have known the sister for the same amount of time. I am over 25, a British citizen and me and my girlfriend do not live together.

In my mind, as my girlfriend and I are not legally bound or even in a defacto marriage, I am able to put myself down as 'Sisters Boyfriend of 5.5 years' in the, how do you know the applicant section.

Has anyone had issues using a sibling's boyfriend/girlfriend as a second referee before?

You are not related therefore no issue.
