1. Yes I have requested Data, though, I doubt they would have my employer data, date of joining & leaving, duration I worked with an employer, payslips etc, might get some P60s though.Form AN does not require you to give all of this information. As long as you can give the month (e.g. "Mar 09") that is fine.
You won't need to state your salary for previous employments. Preferably you should give the name of your employer, if they no longer exist, write "dissolved" or something to similar effect in the "employer address"
section of question 1.50. Also a record for what was supposed to be paid and what was paid. I say this because they have sent me the partial record. And you don't expect further data from HMRC?And thats all I can see, though its also true what they have sent is only for the period for my limited company. Does that mean I should only attach what they sent me for my limited company, because I don't think I can summarise it better than they have on these letters/yearly statements.You can enclose whatever you think is relevant to the application, but I don't see much point in doing so, given the very limited information asked for under question 1.50. But see my comments below.
My worry still is I don't want to be perceived as someone hiding or misrepresenting, funny enough when I don't even have that information. This is how many applicants feel about tracing back their absences over the past five years... pretty common!
I think all other points are now covered and in alignment to your responses earlier. Thanks for your wishes and cooperation.Fabs.
Your honesty is commendable. Am I correct in inferring from your post that you have not yet received your
full data set from HMRC? If you feel that the HMRC data is incomplete and that you should make further disclosure on your naturalisation application, here are a couple of points:
1) As set out above, in the list in question 1.50 (page 10 of form AN), list the employments you can trace back from your own records and HMRC data. Should be fine to give MM/YY only. If you don't know the precise dates of employment, approximate (e.g. "Mar 09 approx. to May 09 approx.").
2) On p.22, set out the circumstances of your previous employment:
- Paragraph 1: state that you have given employment information to the best of your knowledge and memory, based on your records and HMRC data, explain what steps you have taken to trace back your employment history, and briefly set out why you no longer have full data (e.g. payslips thrown away, lost while moving houses, destroyed, etc.)
- Paragraph 2: state that you have always complied with your tax obligations and that HMRC have confirmed no outstanding tax liability.
[- Paragraph 3
(optional): state that it is
possible according to your recollection that you had previous employments not recorded on your HMRC file, but that you no longer have any paperwork relating to it. If these employments were merely minor, or if they preceded your qualifying 5-year period, so state.]
It is up to you whether you want to make this disclosure. In theory, you could apply for naturalisation on the back of an envelope or a napkin, provided you give sufficient information to show you satisfy the statutory requirements (physical presence 5 years ago, no more than the permitted absence, intent to remain etc). It is not mandatory to use form AN (
unlike applications under the Immigration Rules or EU law) with its questions on prior employment, though of course if can't be ruled out that the caseworker would seek that information from you after making an application by letter. Best to use form AN, and make the above disclosure to the extent you consider relevant.
