By employment, the questions means any employment. If you are self employed, you simply state the details of your self employment.Nishkhan wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:38 amHi guys I’m new to the forum.
Can any one help me with the form.
I’m self employed and the form doesn’t give any option for self employed it only ask you are you employed or not. What should I do to compost my application.
Secondly it’s asking 10 years of history and I’ve lived in Uk for 8 years.

The questions does also say "for 10 years or since you have been in the uk'!!
No, if you are self employed you are not working for a company on their payroll. How are you doing self assessments? Are you a director of a ltd company etc?Nishkhan wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 6:57 amCR001 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 6:14 amBy employment, the questions means any employment.

Thanks CR001. Your advise indeed cleared my point.
Can u also explain what should I write in the employers name and address city town and postcode. And I was doing security for 8 months and then switched to taxi, without interrupting my self employment. both were as a self employed do that count as one or two different self employeds. Means I have to enter both separately.
Not a company for most of the time it’s been Been a security guard for some months and then started taxi and am still doing that. I do have a shop from last year as well but I’ll be doing separate tax returns for that as a business. I’m director in that from last one year. Means I do taxi for fewer hours now. I know It’s a bit complicatedCR001 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 7:11 amNo, if you are self employed you are not working for a company on their payroll. How are you doing self assessments?

I can't find any information in the guidance on whether it should be entered from oldest to newest, or most recent to oldest. Does it even matter? I want to make sure it's correct.
P60 or letters from employers are sufficient (P45 or payslips not required).2) since I have no passport stamp from when I entered the UK back in 2009 (as a to-be-student), are my p45/p60s/payslips going to be enough evidence to prove I've been here in the last 5 years? I've worked pretty much constantly since 2011 so hopefully should be enough?
No problem - you are free to open your own thread further down the board.Thanks in advance and again apologies if this is the wrong place to ask!
Thank you for the quick reply! I have probably about 10 other questions to be honest so I will take your advice on own thread.alterhase58 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:11 pmvioletvik wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 4:00 pm1) in what order should I be entering my previous employment history and absences from the UK?

Personally I would always start with the current or most recent and then work back - don't think it matters, but certainly CV advisors recommend this.

The question asks for "any" application, not just for the last 10 years, so I would add as much detail as you have. If necessary estimate dates to month/year.Evicra wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 1:52 pmHi
advice requested please .Q- have you made any previous Immigration application in uk or abroad.
My immigration history starts from Sep 2000 when first i arrived as student.
i gave details about last 10 years of my history. i am on 5 year T1-ILR-Naturalisation route.
is 10-year history enough or i have to give complete 20-year history of immigration applications
thanks
You don't need P60s. You only need your passports covering the last 5 years before date of application. It is only those on the EEA/EU route that require P60s or other evidence of residence as their passports don't get stamped.hamzakhani wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 11:05 amhi
i have the similar question. im working in company from 2010 my question is for how many months or years i need to show P60 as im applying after 2 weeks
thank you very much
CR001 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 10:36 am1. You should wait till September. Being physically present in the UK at the start of 5 year qualifying period is a mandatory requirement and members have been refused citizenship for failing to meet this and lost their fees. Citizenship is based ONLY on the 5 years immediately preceding the date of application. So applying with "5 years and 4 months" is completely irrelevant. HO will only consider 5 years for the physically presence requirement.flashq wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 10:31 amHi, can the moderators kindly help with the questions below:
1) On the online form, there is a part that says You must have been in the UK on the first day of your 5-year qualifying period: I was outside the UK from May 2015 until September 2015 do I need to wait until September 2020 to apply? or can I give the HO more than 5 years qualifying period (include my travel from May to September 2015)? and give them 5 years and 4 months so I can give a date that I was in the UK?
2) is there an expiry date for the referees' letters? for example 30 days from the date they sign?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you
2. Should be dated as close to date of application as possible.
Yes - it's five years back from the submission/paid date - the biometrics appointment date is not relevant for this requirement.flashq wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 7:37 pmCR001 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 10:36 am1.

One more question please: I have now submitted my application online on the 13/09/2020 but there are no appointments yet. would that date (13/09) would be the date they count the 5 years qualifying period from? or would they count from the date I go to my appointment?
Thanks in advance.

First time poster and even though I searched the forum I couldn't find the answers on the queries below so apologies in advance if my search skills failed me. I am currently completing the form and have the following queries:
- I am applying after having had 12 months of Settled Status - in the beginning of the application it asks if I am an EEA applicant and if I have an ILR certificate - do I answer yes here on the basis of the Settled Status email? Where is says "EEA citizen with a PR document" answer NO then go to the option ILR and select "ILR on basis of Settled Status".
- In the question "Do you have a UK degree" the answer would typically be yes for me (I had a Masters done in the UK and an English bachelors from abroad). However, my UK masters degree certificate has been lost for quite some time now - I typically would get confirmation from the university but given how specific they are (+university turn around times due to COVID) I opted for the safest option which is to take the B1 test (with LanguageCert). If I do answer that I have a degree from a UK university however the online form immediately thinks that I will use that as my language certification. If I answer "no" however so that I can provide the B1 test number, wouldn't the Home Office treat that as me failing to disclose important info (i.e. lying?). No - ticking B1 is sufficient - you don't have to disclose all qualifications you have.
- Can your referees work for the same company as you? For example using two registered solicitors (who are also friends of mine and friends between themselves) from the company that I work for? Yes - colleagues and friends from the same company are fine - did the same myself no issues.
Many thanks in advance for any help provided
theduck wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:03 pmMany thanks alterhase58 - truly much appreciate the responses.
With regards to your first response - it is a bit confusing as the Settled Status appears only if you select that you have a permanent residency certificate. Otherwise if you press "No" to that question you are taken to the "ILR" section where it merely asks when you got "ILR" (without referencing ILR). I suspect that in this instance Settled Status would fall within the definition of "ILR" and consequently I am going to respond with a "No" to the PR Certificate and then on to the next page where I will respond yes to ILR question (and provide the date that I received Settled Status).Note we don't have sight of all the online application screens so we rely on members' experience. You should certainly upload a copy of your confirmation email just in case. Settled Status is on their system so they will find you.
With regards to the second response - that is what I thought also. Perhaps I am overthinking it and the layout of the website just doesn't help. It's not like we are given multiple choices but rather you get to the B1 section only and to the extent you have exhausted any previous questions (i.e. no university degree, etc). Looking at the paper format of the application this would have been much easier to answer without having to disclose or answer any other segment of education. Overthinking yes - I did the paper form some years ago so in some aspects that's a bit more user-friendly.
Lastly i am stuck on the referee bit now until my friends confirm their full details - for whatever reason you just can't skip any question in this application before moving on to the next bit! Once I put their details in do I just print their relevant pages and have them sign the referee form along with my picture prior to submitting the application? Yes - I believe that happens when you have submitted/paid. You load the declarations with all your other documents.
