National Insurance Gap - ILR Due

[raj0419]

Hello,

Very quick question. I had checked my HMRC records and I saw 1 year (2014-15) gap in national insurance gap.

I checked with HMRC by call and got to know I landed in country 26 January 2015 and my salary started from that day, so I only paid NI contribution for Jan (6 days), Feb, Mar 15 and that's why it shows gap in national insurance. I have option to pay voluntary contribution for NI. But I want to know if I don't pay voluntary contribution for NI is that any impact on my ILR which is due in Dec 2019.

Thanks in advance.
regards,

No. The clue is in the word 'voluntary'.
