Date of arrival in the UK

Hi folks,

I am currently gathering the required information for my citizenship application which I will be submitting in a few months and I have a question I wanted to ask regarding the date of first entry into the UK.

At the moment, I have settled status under the EUSS but I have a feeling I might have given them the wrong date of first arrival in the UK. Basically, I arrived in the UK in early June 2017, then left and came back a week after and I have been here ever since. However, I am not 100% what date that was exactly! My mind is stuck on 16th June, which I used on my EUSS application.

I had a look at the AN naturalisation form and it asks for date of first arrival which I honestly don't remember and I have no flight bookings saved on emails. At the same time, the application is asking for my 16-digit number for my EUSS application so they will be able to cross-check between the AN form and my EUSS application.

Could this potentially cause an issue with my application, if my date of arrival is wrong? I am talking about a difference of a few days here, not months or years.

Thank you in advance!

Never mind - I checked my bank statements. It's all sorted!

It wouldn't cause a major issue if it's only a week off - you can specify in a cover note that all dates are at the best of your recollection.
