For fee - she confirmed, use latest form but the already paid old fee is still valid.

I was planning to use the PBS calculator for settlement for main applicant , but seems like I will not be able to and Its not really required. You can put everything in your cover letter and refer to guidnace and the points you get .

Please share if you already prepared cover letter , that will be great help to others aswell.

I have a Master Degree from UK and evidence was submitted at the initial Tier 1 General application in May 2010. In extension on June 2012 evidence was not susubmitted for Qualifications and English Language. But Now for ILR there is a option for Not to submit Degree for qualifications BUT For English Language there is No option to click that We have to submit evidence or Not. My wife has B1 so there is a option click But for Main applicant No option.

So Do I need to resubmit my UK Master Degree to prove.

I was granted ILR today at CROYDON. I have got a masters degree from UK. I did provide them the original degree and transcript.

On page 39, 9B - Qualifications assessment, i selected the following
Qualification recognised on the points-based calculator and evidence submitted as part of
previous Tier 1 (General) application.

however on question 4.3, i ticked two of the following:

• An academic qualification deemed by UK NARIC to meet the
recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or
PhD in the United Kingdom and:
• the qualification was taught or researched in the UK
or a majority English speaking country (other than
Canada);

2. What Option I need to chose for english requirment for me and my wife in new form after 6th April?
3. PBS calculator removed Tier 1 option so which option I need to choose to show that my and wife degree is in PBS calculator ?

Finally got ILR from PEO Croydon.
Experience
1- Leave early if driving to croydon. Parking opposite to lunar house is whitgift shopping centre with NCP parking. 5.50 per day it is.
2- Any other category english language PBS calculator points can be given as evidence. Infact a print of the page showing degree subject year and points earned alone would also do.
3-Do provide original masters degree and degree taught jn english letter or transcripts for english language.
4-Payslips, bank statements 12 months highlighting salary payments.
Early morning applications are better as later in the day there could be delay due to overload and or case complexity.
Waiting is long and boring so take your ipods but vheck the svreens and listen to announcements as screen was not working when I went and showed old token numbers.

Hi

I have my ILR due in May 2015 and i have similar questions regarding the English language requirement.

I have got my Bachelor degree in Computer science from Pakistan and it was approved and shown by PBS calculator when i applied for Tier 1 General back in June 2010 ( as per rules placed after 06-April-2010). It was also available on the PBS calculator in 2012 when i applied for my extension in May 2012. Now the PBS calculator is changed after 06-April-2015. So in SET(o) 04/2015 version form, which option should i select under section 4 Knowledge of English and Life in UK /4.3 options combined with options in 9B Section = Qualification Assessment on page 38 of SET_O__Version_04-2015.pdf form.

Also do i need to fill the payment section if i am booking an online appointment PEO at the centre ?

Please help as this very confusing. Thanks in advance..

Looking forward to your expert opinion.

Best Regards,
M.Z

hi all,

i want to add that english language requirement might be completed by only submitting the previously submitted English language test results i.e. IELTS etc at the time of first initial application.

No you dont need Naric letter. Your original UK degree and its transcript will suffice.

You need to show an IELTs test certificate (as well as LIUK) or other English Language test recognised by the Home Office as I doubt any Degree taught in Pakistan will award you the English Language points.

For the qualification points, you need to check the option "below" if you have previously submitted your degree certificate and been awarded the points for your T1 General applications.

"Qualification recognised on the points-based calculator and evidence submitted as part of
previous Tier 1 (General) application".

Many people are having this issue since the T1 General option has been removed from the points based calculator as they can no longer verify their degrees which had been previously listed there and they got points for it.

And yes, it is recommended to fill in the payment details if you have already booked an appointment and paid for the whole thing.
