Hi,

I had ILR for about 9 years. And I applied for naturalization in 22nd July. I just realized I had two trips forgot to add to the application form. One trip was in January 2018 (around 4 days) and another one was in between 7th July and 9th July 2022. I think it is count as 2 days and the form said don't need to includes it if a a trip is two days.

Is that a matter? Do I need to write a cover letter to explain these two holiday trips? Thank you!

Have you had the biometrics appointment? If not, you can add to the cover letter to explain. The trip from the 7th to 9th July counts as 1 day as you were absent from the country on the 8th July.

Yes I had the biometrics appointment last month. The only way to explain is to email the HO I guess? It was a long time ago I entirely forgot I had another trip in January 2018. Just checked my booking history of hotel. It was 20-22 January 2018. Is that okay to not includes it? Or I have to email HO to explain. Thank you for your quick reply.

The trip 20-22 Jan 2018 also counts for 1 day. Does your passport have stamps for the trips? I would try to contact the HO and explain.

I would also clarify the issue of the stamps being hard to read. Good luck and update us!

Hi all, I got my ILR for 9 years (Auguest 2013) and I applied naturalization in July. I haven't got any approved email back. A mistake of my application is my mum's brith year (I was holding Tier 1 Dependent before IRL). I wrote an email to explain the mistake. But it has been 3 months. Is that true it would take longer to process my application if I got ILR really long time? Thank you!

Citizenship applications can take up to 6 months, often longer.

You need to wait to hear back.
