Hi Masters,

I have a basic query about the naturalisation application. I hope you will help me resolve the same.

I am applying through NCS and under the JCAP scheme. I am a self-employed person with more than 1 yr post ILR.
Does my application need to be accompanied with a Cover Letter like it was done for Visa extension and ILR? Also, I have entered the details of my employment history as well as absences from UK and the HMRC documentation for employment and tax history will be included. Do I need to add any separate letter explaining my absences or the employment history?

With the application, I am including my Passport, ILR-BRP, Life in UK passing certificate, HMRC statement of account. Do I need to include anything additional?

I always get nervous when it comes to such applications and so I might have missed something, but if you people can advise then I can crosscheck and it will be really helpful.

If at all a cover letter is required, is there a template available for the same?

Thanks in advance masters.

(I briefly searched through the forum for cover letter but did not find any strong results. Apologies if its a repost or a duplicate.)

Cover letter is not required. The form and supporting documents is sufficient.

Thanks Char bhai for prompt response.

Do you think the documents that I have mentioned are sufficient or I need anything else?

A cover letter is not mandatory and not required unless you have some unusual or peculiar circumstance to explain.

Also include proof of English and payment form/s.
As I recall passport photo is required too.

A cover letter is only to help clarify points and/or details which could not be covered in the application itself. if the application is self-explanatory, there is no requirement for a cover letter.

As an aside, not everybody on these forums is from the Sub-continent or conversant with the lingo. You may wish to stick to more conventionally understood expressions.

In any case, it would be Char ben and not Char bhai.

No idea what this means. But to atrang ,I am South African, just for information.

Char Bhai = Brother Char; Char ben = Sister Char.

The member made the assumption that you are a 'brother' Char. A common occurrence on the forum I believe.
