Hi All
I know this questiona has been answered earlier and appeared in FAQ as well. But I still want to confirm from senior members and people who have personally applied with no professional referee.
The issue is my UK born child is just under 2yrs and I am planning to make his MN1 application on December. The issue as as he is just 22 months old we are unable to get any professional referee like teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion. I have read on this forum that UKVI is less strict for childern specially of this age but I still don't want to take any chances here.
Are there any success stories for people in similar situation ? Has anyone got rejected for a child application with no professional referee ? Any response in this regards will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Suggest you shoot for professional referees that
you know.
In any case HO does not always take up such referees.
And if they do & they happen to object to any particular referee they will contact you to invite nomination of another referee.

My understanding is minors are not interviewed and do not have to attend.
(Example: my teenage daughter was not required to attend NCS.)

Thanks for the prompt response noajthan.
I would like to cross check one more thing with you.....As I was unable to find any professional reference, both the reference are personal but they are professionals aged over 25 Y british citizen. I hope UKVI will not be too fussy about it as this application is for under 2yrs. Any thoughts ?

HO does not always take up references.
if a referee is deemed to be unsuitable they will write to you and ask you to nominate another referee.
