Typo on my UK Citizenship application

Post by Worried2008 » Sat Jun 09, 2018 5:20 pm

So now I have submitted my application for UK citizenship, I noticed that there was a typo error. I mistakenly put down on my online application that I first came to the UK in August 2005 when in fact I came a year before in August 2004.

What are the chances that;
- my application will be denied
- I can amend this information? I cannot re-submit even though I have tried to go back on the application to do so.
- will this impact my chances of getting citizenship in the future?

I was under a lot of stress applying for this in the first place and this has just tripled my worries.

Any advice welcome.

I am aware that this is my error so please, helpful feedback only.

- my application will be denied Unlikely but they will ask for the evidence of residency from August 2004
- I can amend this information? I cannot re-submit even though I have tried to go back on the application to do so. Not familiar with online however once you got a reference number send a letter to UKVI explaining the mistake. Keep a copy. Send by Special Delivery to get a signature on receipt by HO
- will this impact my chances of getting citizenship in the future? Unlikely unless there are issues with the "good character" requirement.

Stress is toxic for these important applications ....
Any advice welcome.
