Naturalisation application

Hello members,

I just started to fill application form for naturalisation and need help to complete. I will be very thankful to any help.

I got ILR through tier1 entrepreneur on 20/01/2020 and will be eligible for naturalisation on 20/01/2021.

There is a question of employment history from last 10 years. I did lots of different jobs while I was on student visa and also on PSW. Those jobs were from different recruitment agencies. I don't have p60 or P45 from those jobs and not sure about the start and end dates of those jobs and employers name (agency names).

I do know the name of those companies where I actually went for work but not sure which agency sent me there.

I was not aware of, these will be required at any stage.

Any suggestions what to do now?

Thanks

You need to mention the company who you worked for not the agency name.

Dates can be estimates to the best of your knowledge and can be clarified in the cover letter also. But you must mention all employment in UK for the last 10 years.

Since you have time, you may want to apply to HMRC for your employment records.

This is not correct if the op was paid by the agency as an agency worker. The companies he worked at are irrelevant as they were not his employer, the agency was.

CULLINAN and CR001 Thanks for reply. Yes I was paid by the agencies.

I run a dummy application to see the questions in application form. Can I delete the dummy application or the only option I have is to edit the answers?


Thanks

Thank you for the correction.

You can run as many dummy applications you like. However, if you have registered the email address and saved the application (if you saved and returned to application via registered email) but would want to discard the application, I would urge you to use another email address to start a NEW application which you intend to keep OR you can always use the same application and edit the answers.

Hello,

My current employer is a director of a limited company and also he was my client as well when I was on tier1 entrepreneur visa.

Can I use him as professional referee?

Thanks

Yes - Director is fine - as long as person is not related to you.

Hope that the company is VAT registered?

Thanks for your reply.

Are you sure it's about my name? As I already give my name in personal details section.

Before this section it clearly says "Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?"
Also give an option to add extra applications.

Thanks

It is your name.

Hello members,

I paid a late filing penalty of £100 on 3rd October 2016. Do I need to declare this in naturalisation application form? If yes then any idea where?

I was late in submitting my self assessment for the tax year ending April 2015.

Please advice.

Thanks

No need to disclose. This is not a criminal fine - you just paid HMRC interest for being late. And you have complied with your obligations, just a bit late. If HMRC take you to court that's another matter.

Thanks for reply. I did enter LIUKT number and will upload that as well.

What do you think about travel history. Do I need ko mention my last trip outside UK to confirm my entry date which is in march 2014.

Thanks

Upload the last UK entry stamp from 8th March 2014 and mention that you never left UK after that.

I will. Thanks for your reply.

My wife and 2 kids will be eligible for citizenship on 10th February next month. They want travel outside UK on 16th July to 13 August 2021. What will be the best time for them to apply keeping above travel dates in mind.

Thanks

No one can comment how long their applications will take or what will be the situation with ceremonies at that point.

Application standard processing is 6 months but these days it is decided in 2/3 months in majority cases.

Ceremony delay is 2/3 months after approval.

Council availability varies thereafter.

For now one can attend a ceremony after ceremony invitation from HO within 6 months (corona concession).

No one knows what will be the backlogs like in future.

Note: Your wife will become British on the date she attends the ceremony, your child will become British from the date of approval/date on certificate as child does not attend the ceremony. Your wife and child can travel on ILR BRP till they become British. ILR BRP is invalid after that and can they enter UK only on the British Passport thereafter.
