Sorry I misread the thread - in that case you provide your passport(s) covering the five year period - everything else still valid.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Many thanks alterhase58 for your invaluable advice.
Bless you.

I have been the director of my company since all these years and I am still the director of that company.

After getting my ILR I did a few jobs while I still retained my directorship.

So for my my employment history is it okay if I just mention the directorship OR do I have to mention all the jobs that I did after getting my ILR?

Many thanks for your help.

Kindest regards.

You must declare all jobs in UK for the last 10 years.

Hello,

Greetings of the day.

Can you please help me with this one?

Just for one day I had worked for a company on self-employed basis but that company had processed that amount on PAYE.

It was an error on their part but it is reflecting in my personal tax account in HMRC.

Do I have to disclose that one day’s job as well or can I ignore and skip it?

Thanks and regards.

Should not be an issue to ignore it too.

Good morning,

For Naturalisation application what will be considered as the date of application?

Will it be the date I submit the application?
OR
The day I give my biometrics (If applicable)?

This is just to verify that I was physically present in the UK 5 years before the date of my application.

Kindest regards.

For ALL applications to UKVI, the date you submit and pay online is the date of application!!

Hello everybody,

Greetings of the day.

In my naturalization application, for my employment details I have mentioned myself to be the director of my company.

As soon as my biometrics is done, can I close down my company and resign as a director, OR
Do I have to continue as a director till the outcome of my application?

Thanks and regards.

You can do as you wish. Employment status is irrelevant for Naturalisation.

Greetings of the day.

For my naturalization application, I have uploaded the following documents:

1- Application form
2- Current passport
3- Old passport
4- Current bank statement
5- IELTS certificate
6- LITUK certificate
7- Professional referee letter
8- Personal referee letter
9- BRP card

Can you please tell me if these documents are sufficient or do I need to Add / Remove any of these?

My biometrics appointment date is very close and I do not want to take any risks.

Kindest regards.

4- Current bank statement
Not required.
7- Professional referee letter
8- Personal referee letter
Presumably these are the standard referee FORMS they signed with your photo on and not a letter you got each to write?

Many thanks CR001 for your prompt response.

It is highly appreciated.

Yes, I have used the standard forms for referees.

Current bank statement has been used for 'Address proof'. I hope that is okay?

For my Biometrics appointment for Naturalization application, do I need to carry any original documents with me?

Do I need to carry the scanned copies as well?

Any other suggestions on what all I need to prepare prior to the appointment?

Kindest regards,

This is NOT required. Nowhere does it ask you to provide evidence of address proof. Do not submit documents that are unnecessary and you think are relevant.
For my Biometrics appointment for Naturalization application, do I need to carry any original documents with me?
Yes, in case UKCVAS needs to rescan something.
Do I need to carry the scanned copies as well?
No.
Any other suggestions on what all I need to prepare prior to the appointment?
Nothing. You are only enrolling your biometrics and having your identity checked. It is not an inverview.
