Hi lvjeremylv-
Maybe you are not getting any responses to your questions because you have not given enough information. "Civil servant" is very vague. And for the next, you have given no information on your supervisor or your neighbour to guide us on who would be a better referee.
Hope this helps.

Ah right ok, well in that case I'll elaborate.
The civil servant friend works for the Department of Social Services, and the ex neighbor/friend is a contracts manager. Those were the 2 I went with so hopefully they'll be sufficient lol 🤷🏻♂️
The whole thing is very stupid. You live here for years, pay upwards of £8,000 in fees, work the whole time and pay taxes, then still have to jump through hoops every handful of months to see if you're worthy. Asinine if you ask me.
