Forgot to mention past self employment on naturalisation online form

Hello Gurus

I applied for naturalisation using online form and paid fees on 1st January 2021.
I worked as self employed from 2011 to 2014, during that time, I was on post study worker visa.
In december 2012, I formed my limited company and became director.

on online form, I mentioned all my employment dates in past ten years. However, I forgot to mention that I was working as self employed from 2011 to 2014.

What shall I do now? Online form has already been submitted. Shall I write a covering letter and explain that I was on self employment from 2011 to 2014 ?

My biometrics appointment is on 28th February 2021.

please guide

Simply add a note in the cover letter and upload before biometrics appointment. No issues.

Thank you so much Cullinan ... you have always been very helpful. I remember you guided me so well last year when I was applying for my ILR. My ILR application was successful. Special thanks to you.

Welcome. Since your biometrics appointment is far on 28th Feb, I would suggest to self-submit the documents.

Self-submission is OPTIONAL. If you want to benefit from the new feature, you must upload and self-submit up to 48hrs before the appointment. If you do NOT want to self-submit, you can upload ANYTIME before the appointment date and submit at the appointment itself. Self-submission is recommended as you may save some processing time - your documents are sent to UKVI even before biometrics in this case. You can self-submit only ONCE. But if you forget to upload any documents, you can always upload later on (after self-submission) and submit at the appointment then (you will not be able to self-submit again but can submit at appointment again).

Read “self-submit” “submit” “upload” separately as stated above.

Who are you addressing the covering letter to? I forgot to add one of my holidays from last year. I am thinking to attach the cover letter. Do you have a format or know who to address it to?

Simply state “Home Office.”

No template needed.
