Mistake on absences - Help!

Post by killamangiro » Mon Feb 24, 2020 8:58 pm

Hey all,

I'm completely kicking myself. I have just submitted my Naturalisation application and noticed on one of my absences instead of entering that I returned in 2016 I wrote 2017. So what should have been 3 days in Germany, is now saying its over 300! Annoyingly it didn't tell me the total number as I was filling in the application form otherwise it would have raised a flag. No excuses though I should have been more careful.

Have I completely screwed up my application because of this? Doesn't seem to be any way to amend. :oops:

Any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks!

You'll need to contact UKVI, stating your reference number, explain the error and provide a revised listing.
Did you receive an email acknowledgement? Are replies to the sender possible, or it "no-repply"?
If the latter, suggest you use this email address: nationalitysupportteamfmt@homeoffice.gov.uk

Thanks!

I have my appointment with UKVCAS next week so I was going to upload a cover letter with the error noted. Do you think this would be sufficient ? It is quite obviously a mistake as I have other absences overlapping this time period the following year. I am also uploading all my passport pages which shows the dates I left and entered.

cheers!

I assumed you had already submitted everything - so yes upload the letter with your other documents.

I had just submitted the application online. Appointment at UKVCAS is on Monday. I've uploaded a cover letter explaining the typo and pointing to the page in my passport with the correct return date. Hopefully this is fine!
