Hi,

I am applying naturalisation for my son and he is 18 months old. In MN1 form there is reference section which says that i need get a reference who is professional (i.e. health visitor, social worker...) and engaged with child for at least 6 months. I went to GP and health visitor but they refused to give.

he is going for toddlers club but that is from last 2 months. Because i am not able to get references from them. can i give references from my friends who are IT professionals?

Please help

Thanks,
Srinivas

Your son will be registered not naturalised. But, if he was born in the UK then any professional will do as per Referees: List of acceptable professional persons for IT professionals they should be members of the British Computer Society (BCS).

I spoke to a solicitor today and they said that they can give one reference and it will charge me £5!!!!

Also have been told by NCS that if one reference is willing to give their passport number then the second one need not to provide in their passport number!!! Any comments!!

Hello, i have a situation on the referee:

my colleogue is ready to be as a referee (she is accountant and from SA) however she only knows me from last 2 years though she has been in the UK for around 5 years.

Would this be ok if she mentioned that if someone calls i can say she knows me for a longer time?

tks,

tks,
she can be fined or jailed for knowingly providing incorrect information.
I understand that I may be liable for prosecution resulting in a penalty of up to 3 months imprisonment or a fine not exceeding £5,000 or both if I knowingly or recklessly make a false declaration
