Refeeres

Hi, I have completed my application online but got stuck with choosing the referees. I read most of the locked topics but still not 100% sure probably because I am anxious and overthinking. I would be happy if you could confirm or correct my understanding.

One referee would be a British citizen over 25 years old. And this person does not need to be of professional standing? For example, my neighbour/friend who is working at Waitrose but not at a professional standing, British, age 37 year-old would suffice.

Second referee (or one of the referees) needs to be professional in listed jobs either British or other nations. For example, my Turkish friend with ILR who is an engineer would suffice?

Do you have any dependants not applying with you at this time?

Post by demirkan » Sun Oct 27, 2024 7:53 pm

I know there are many topics on this but reading them I couldn't find one fully articulating my situation.

I came to UK with skilled worker visa from Turkey and have an ILR.

However my wife and kids have Danish citizenship, they are in EU settlement scheme in pre-settled and settled status.

What should be the answer to this question for me? I am applying for myself at the moment but we might apply for them later.

Any ideas please?

1. Please keep your questions about the same application in one topic, this one, now merged with your previous topic.

2. You answer YES if they are not applying with you.
