Naturalization - Employment History

Hi There,

Soon I will complete 1 year after receiving ILR. I was looking at the Naturalization form and found they require 10 year Employment History.

I requested for SAR twice but even after 2 months they never sent me anything, I filled in that form online.

I requested for SAR on another HMRC page where they asked why do I need details of NI/Tax for requested time period. After 30 days they sent me 1 page letter that shows NI/Tax contributions for past 10 years (no start/end date for employment; just years). That letter states that HMRC provide data to home office in table format as stated in the letter and long format SAR is not accepted by home office ...

Questions: Between 2010-2013 I did two part time jobs.

Job 1: 4 months, worked full time as was finished with studies
Job 2: 2.5 years, I worked part time <20 hours.
Job 3: Full time current employment > 5 years.

Both were cash in hand and I don't have any P60/P45/Payslips etc. However both jobs are listed in HMRC Letter along with income details (Tax/NI not paid for Job 2 as it was <20 hours or below taxable/NI income).

Since I don't have any P60/P45/Payslips for Job 1,2 (cash in hand jobs), I appreciate Home Office does not require any documentation for that. Would someone in same situation recommend me to list them in Naturalization form and apply now?

or I should wait few years until they disappear from last 10 year and apply later?

I need honest opinion as If by any chance if Home Office asked further details of Job 1,2. Then I don't have anything apart from HMRC letter where they list annual income/tax/NI etc.

Thanks for help in advance.

You simply need to list your employment as accurately as possible, ALL employment, in the form.

You do NOT have to submit evidence of earnings, P60s or anything. HO do their own checks.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know any cases where HO requested previous employment papers from non EU applicants?

No they don't as it is not relevant unless you are an EU citizen or followed the EU Family residence card route under the EEA rules.

There is one more question:

During my ILR application, where they asked when did you leave UK in last few years, i put date of arrival in country I visited (entry stamp date) rather actual day I flew from UK (because I didn’t had all tickets from 10 years to write accurately).

For Naturalization application, Should I repeat same entry stamp date for visits made outside UK (to get all dates in line with previous application) or put dates I actually flew from UK (as i know dates from last 5 years) ?

Either. Only whole days out of the UK are counted towards the absence limit.
