Citizenship Query

[RR6]

Hi, I have just submitted my citizenship application online and made the payment/booked biometric appointment as well. My husband is a British citizen so applying on spouse route. I was just going through my downloaded application and noticed that under details of trip outside I’m only supposed to include trips outside UK in the three years before date of application but I have added details of trip from Jan2020. This wasn’t required as I only need to provide details from Jun2021. I think I was a bit confused as I received my ILR in Jan2023 and was backdating from date of receiving my ILR. Is this going to cause problems for my application? I have been physically present 3 years from date of application. I’m worried the case worker would get confused looking at the additional trip details from Jan2020. Can I write a cover letter asking them to ignore that trip? Please any advise is appreciated.

Did you include all trips from the last 3 years, or just 2020 to 2023? If you have all trips in the 3 years qualifying period you will be OK. you can explain in a cover note for peace of mind but likely you won't need to.

Thank you for your response. Yes I have included other trips from last 3 years. Haven’t travelled to anywhere outside UK since Feb23. I just realised I have entered the dates wrong for one of the trips. I gave the below details. Jan20 is not relevant as it’s outside the qualifying period. But the second trip was actually from 15Dec21 to 16Jan22. I have given the wrong return date. Is there any way we can explain this or get changed in the submitted application please?

1)11Jan20 to 2Feb20
2)15Dec21 to 4Jan22
3)26Jan23 to 26Feb23

One more question. I travelled to India on 26Jan23 with my old passport. I renewed it while in India and on return my arrival was stamped on my new passport. So should I scan both the passports to show my travel history?

You can't correct the submitted application but you can upload a spreadsheet with the correct travel dates and upload that to UKVCAS before biometrics appointment and explain in a cover note those are the correct dates to be considered. You will need to upload new passport too.
