Dear all,

I am currently preparing my citizenship application and worry about Q10 and 11 as there are warnings about application been returned if there are gaps.

1) If I was moving out from one place on July 31 and moving into a new place on August 1st
I indicate
e.g. july,2017- july, 2018 address 1
aug, 2018- jpresent address 2

Is it considered as a gap? Or should I use " july, 2017- aug, 2018 address 1" just for safety?

2) I was working in July for a couple of days, then quit and went for vacation before starting a new job in August. should I state that I was unemployed? I.e.:

something-july,2018 job1
july,2018-july,2018 unemployed
august,2018-something, job2

Or it does not matter as there is no gap if I will indicate

something-july,2018 job1
august,2018-something, job2

Thank you for your answers!

1) This is just fine:
e.g. july,2017- july, 2018 address 1
aug, 2018- jpresent address 2

2) Since you left the previous job before taking the vacation, you were essentially unemployed in between jobs. So I would go with this:

something-july,2018 job1
july,2018-july,2018 unemployed
august,2018-something, job2

However, the second option is also fine from gap perspective, but hides the unemployment.
