10 years Long Residence - NI number

[Karan K]

Hello,
I am applying under the 10 year rule through a solicitor.

SET (O) application requires you to provide the NI number. I have breached the 20 hour work rule as a student and i am now worried about filling that part on the form.

My solicitor asked me to provide the NI number at any cost. He says , not providing the NI number is treated as withholding information deliberately. And if the Home office decides they would check and they can find out anyway. So his advise is provide all the details upfront.

Do Home office make checks using the NI number we provide? Does that affect my application?

I am worried . Please advise.

Thank you.

1. I wud strongly recommend to provide your NI number.
2. If the caseworker wants to make any checks then it can be done with or without you providing the number.
3. Not providing the number will probably raise doubts that why the NI was not provided and result in checks being carried out.

I 100% agree with 2012's answer

from NI they won't be able to find how many hours you worked. they can only find how much tax and NI contribution you paid.

2. It depends on the caseworker and wat sort of enquiries he/she wud like to make or no enquiries at all.
