Hi All,

This is really a very helpful forum and very kind hearted people are helping people through this forum.

I have applied for British Citizenship (Naturalisation) and also paid fees. I am applying for myself,my wife and my son.

For Child Referee, I found out that "Where the applicant is a child applying, one referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion"

Unfortunately, I only put two referees name ( one is Professional and other is british Citizen) and doesn't look like this will satisfy child referee criteria?

Is there any way that I can amend this referee detail?
Or Shall I just send the form as it is?


Please advise.

Thanks,

My personal feel is do not do anything... if HO is not satisfied with your referees they will write to you to provide updated referees.

I said to give correct details when applying and from what I hear from a Sopa Steria employee who worked on the platform is that a data transfer is performed to HO when applications is made and documents are validated at the service center.

Just because they upload stuff after the appointment date does not mean it is acted upon. The process to contact home office about an application is from here https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk

You can upload any documents before your appointment. OP still has to attend the appointment.

I do not think it was clear whether OP has yet to attend the appointment or it has happened already, I did try re-read the thread again but found nothing.

If appointment date is in the future then the approach recommend around manually modifying the document and including a cover letter might work.

Sometimes the cover letter could be overlooked in the online platform unless OP has included a response to look at the cover letter in the section of the form which says "Do you have any other information that you wish to include..."
