You should try and use your GP.

GP's dont want to sign it
will it be ok if my current employer will sign it as a professional, even he wrote a confirmation of employment list?

As log as your employer is on the list of professionals and has known you personally for 3 or more years, yes.

I am not sure what you mean? If you are not the spouse of civil partner of a British Citizen you must have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years and been settled (had ILR or PR) for at least 12 months. Note you must have been physically present in the UK 5 (or 3) years prior to the HO receiving your application.
