Naturalisation application
Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2018 11:10 am
Hi guys
I am about to complete my naturalisation application and confused with some of the questions. Please could you help me with the following:
1. Regarding the previous 10 years employment history and NI contributions:
I was self employed from 2008 to 2012 and during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 earned less than the personal allowance so was told by my tax agent that I was not obliged to pay NI contributions but only tax so I didn't pay any,I didn't even get the NI number until the summer 2010 and worked with the temporary one.
In 2010/11 I paid full tax and some NI contributions but not enough and my government NI portal says "year not full", in 2011/2012 I didn't pay any NI contributions as I took my employer to court for not paying me money but my employer run away without paying me.(but I still declared full tax).
I have been in employment since 2012 until now and paid my NI contributions in full. Do I have to pay voluntary NI contributions to cover the NI gaps during 2008-2012 for the Home Office?
2. I am a non EU family member of an EEA national and got the permanent residence. My partner recently became a British citizen and has a dual citizenship now.I am confused whether i should still apply as a family of EEA national or not.
3.Do I have to wride down my partner's details including the fact that she became British citizen and her certificate / date she was granted it?
Thank you very much.
Regards.
