Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

Hi all, I sent HMRC a letter last month, asking them to correct the leaving date in their records. I included my bank statement for the FY 2011/12 showing wage payments for the employment in question. Last week, I received those original bank statements from HMRC with a note saying that they were lo...

Naturalisation Application - Referee requirement

Hi all, I'm hoping to complete my application in the next couple of weeks. My first referee is a friend who is a native born British citizen and also a professional person. For the professional reference, I have asked one of my friends who works for the local government (council). My second referee ...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I’m unable to access that link. Could you please provide the complete link? By surmising, and as others have avowed that such minor discrepancy might not affect the application but still by keeping your tax issue be extricated out of it, I would only recommend you to u...

Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

Correct, if the error in your case is in no breach of your visa work conditions, I would not even bother wasting my time correcting the error. No, I never breached my visa conditions. I worked part-time, about 6 hours a week as a faculty admin assistant at my university during term time (September ...

Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

Thanks @CULLINAN for clarifying - whilst aware of the no-working conditions on some visas didn't consider ths scenario that different dates may cause even more issues.. Thankfully, I'm not faced with this scenario, as I graduated in October, 2011. Interestingly, my student visa was set to expire on...

Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

You probably can call that company and check which date they submitted as your leave date to HMRC?? I recently called a company where I was employed in 2013 and asked about similar details as I did not have the P45 record anymore. Hi, Thanks for your response. The issue is the incorrect leaving dat...

Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

I very much doubt that an error in your HMRC record nearly 10 years ago will have impact on anything. Just state what you know, approximate if necessary. You are not required to prove your salary, tax or NI - UKVI likely have access to that anyway, if it's on the HMRC database. Hi, Thanks for your ...

Re: Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

Aside proceeding towards the citizenship application, remedying that error/mistake should be the top priority which could be a typing error too, since you are assuredly claiming of had resigned from that job in July 2011. Another cross check you can run by yourself by recalling/checking as whether ...

Employment History - Response from HMRC vis-à-vis SAR

Hi everyone, I've hit a snag whilst completing the application form. As a postgraduate student back in 2011, I was employed in a part-time role that entailed 10 hours of work every week. I worked in that job for less than 2 months; I started in June, 2011 and quit that job before the end of July, if...

Re: Urgent - Sopra Steria booking service down and unable to contact over phone

I submitted my application, paid for the ‘next-day’ super-priority service. If worse comes to worst and my current leave to remain expires then it’s Sopra Steria’d fault not mine. I’m sure any court would accept that argument. Date of application is the date you submit and pay online and NOT your S...
