Cover Letter Tips

[hoods24]

Hi
Any tips on writing cover letters for naturalisation application? Specially disclosing breaches - overstaying (nearly 10 years ago) and illegal working (12 years ago). Which by the way home office are aware of (checked from SAR). Do we have to mention all our previous immigration history? Please advise. Thanks.

Application specifically asks for any/all applications you have made.
Cover letters are not required but if you wish to explain in more detail you are free to do so.
Just be concise, caseworkers are busy.

Only mention breaches and explain how they are more than 10 years ago. No need to comment in detail on your immigration history once it became regular, you supplied those details in the application already.
