Hi,
We are going to apply for naturalisation based on Tier 2 + 1 year of ILR route.
I am a university lecturer. May I use a colleague of mine, a professor of our university as my ‘professional referee’? He is not my head of department, or line manager, just a colleague.
Can he be used as a professional referee for my wife and our 21y.o. son. He knows them as friend rather than a teacher.
Many thanks in advance!

Thanks, Zimba. God bless you. Yes, this company has an LTD stated at the end of its registered name.
I have never worked for this company though. I just know the person since a very long time. Is that acceptable?
