Hi all,
I’m about to apply for citizenship. Apologies if this has been asked and answered already (I did search). Does anyone know if a medical doctor/physician can be my professional referee? My best friend of 20 years is a doctor in the U.S. I’d like to ask her. I didn’t see doctors on the list but I saw somewhere that the UKVI list is not an exhaustive one. Has anyone successfully used a doctor as their professional standing referee for an adult citizenship application?
Alternatively, can I use a retired lawyer? I’m a retired lawyer myself and I have loads of former colleagues I could ask but they too are….retired. D’oh! Other than my doctor friend, all the people of “professional standing” I know are retired or family.
Many thanks!
