Naturalisation Referee
 

Hi All,
First I would like to thank all of you helpful folks who have undoubtably helped me along the way. I am beyond grateful. :wub:
My ILR was granted earlier in May and I am now applying for Naturalisation as I just want to get everything out of the way.
However, now I have run into an issue, which I am probably making a mountain out of a molehill.
On the Referee form, it asks them to put my name & DOB and then glue it on the sheet. I am wondering if they should do that, now that everything is scanned?
Also, because I applied for my IRL in January, would it be ok to use some of the documents I used for that? I have a few letters from the recent months but I am literally uploading as much as I can to prove that A: I am still married and B: that I reside here.
I obviously do not want to inundate them with documents but I also feel like the more the merrier to prove my status..

It's very much a hangover from the days you used to submit a ring binder full of paperwork to Lunar House and wait around all day for a decision. Your referee just needs to complete the form but you glue the photo to the space before you scan it. You don't need to write anything on the back.

You can certainly reuse documents from your ILR application, in fact you should be as they will be covering much of the same period.

That sounds like something that I would have preferred to do.. id wait around all day if it wasn't the 6 months.
I have gone to my appointment already and I can do no more. However, I had a weird experience this time that never happened prior.
They asked me to look over at the CCTV and state my name and DOB, I asked why they did that and the agent told me the send it to the home office.
Whether they do or don't, I am not sure.... They also did a lot of double takes between my passport and myself.
I was embarrassed but I said yes, I have gained weight.
