michael68 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 As you know i have been a resident on the UK for 6 months now and applied for my sgc!! As a referee i used my aunt because she's been living here since she was 18 she's now 54 and known her for more then 20 years, do you think that my application will be refused because shes my aunt and that I'm not an English citizen thanks also the police says the referee couldn't be your immediate family member so i think i have no trouble .

shaun4860 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 As stated on one of your posts I don't think your aunt can be a referee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad93 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Your cousin is still immediate family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 As a rule of thumb try and avoid using anyone with the same surname as yourself or your wifes maiden name, its much like breeding tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungolee Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 just found this on google For a shotgun certificate one referee is required and should be someone who has known the applicant personally for at least two years. Members of the applicant's family may not act as referees: wife, husband, mother, father, son, daughter, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, grandparent and mother/father/sister/brother/son/daughter-in-law. Cousins are not regarded as immediate. ml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
