Clerical errors discovered in recently submitted AN Form

[lek28]

Hi

I submitted my AN Form via my local council’s Nationality Checking Service, and have realized that there were a number of data entry errors in the dates I submitted for when I arrived back in the UK for all my trips abroad in the past five years.

As I have left the country > 150 times in the last five years (mostly day trips, so no issues exceeding limits on days absent from the UK), I used Excel to produce schedules with my history of travel outside of the country and days absent. (I used the same form that I was provided with to use for my Indefinite Leave to Remain, which has the same inputs on the actual AN Form, so am comfortable that this is accepted.) The dates listed for when I left the country and the total days I was absent from the country are 100% accurate (latter I understand being the key qualifying data), but I made an error in linking up the cells for the return dates.

The mistake was 100% clerical rather than any reconsideration of disclosure about any particular qualifying facts of my application, for instance (yet mistakes none the less!), and apart from these errors, my application should be 100% straightforward.

Some return dates are coincidentally correct, but there remain numerous errors in the return date column, which become apparent if you go through the application line-by-line and compare the start dates with the number of days absent. Nevertheless, the agent who checked my application noticed the first instance which was wrong (which I corrected there with a pen), then apparently scanned but did not notice other errors – i.e. these escaped at least one person (other than myself).

Does anyone have any experience with errors of this nature? Should I try to notify the Home Office to rectify this part of my application or wait for my application to be assessed and hope for the best?

Thanks in advance for sharing any past experience or opinions on probable outcomes.
