i am little confused regarding new language rule . can someone please help me out .
i came to uk on 30th oct 2010 and married to BC . so i am gonna apply for naturalization after 30th oct 2013. i have got ILR and have already given LIUK test and now need to fullfill language requirement . i have done BCS (hons) and degree was taught in english . In my transcript it is already mentioned that all Subjects were taught in english . Now i want to know

1 ) whether i just need to send documents to NARIC for compatability of degree or do i need to send documents also for language assessment ?

2) And if college covering letter along with transcript and degree is enough to prove that language was english so then if there is any specific format to send to college to get stamped ?? i think i have seen that format somewhere but not able to find it again .Plz help !!

Thanks in advance

Can some one plz make me understand this ... got this from above mentioned link ..

The following groups are considered automatically to meet the English language component of the KoLL requirement and will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification:


Nationals of majority English speaking countries (Annex A).

Those who have obtained a degree taught in English.
Both of these groups will, however, be required to pass the Life in the UK test to demonstrate their knowledge of life in the UK.

The degree must be NARIC comparable to a UK degree and taught in English.

Thnx for reply ..

i got that ..i will send my degree to Naric for "Statement of Comparability " but my question is do i need to send it for " English language Assessment as well " or letter from university stating "subjects were taught in English" would suffice .

also please Reply to this question that if only letter from university is fine enough then is there any specific form or format for that ????

I would really appreciate if u read it all and then reply .

I need to know that i sent my BCS Honours degree to uk NARIC and got result that it is Equivalent to CertHE .. ( Certificate of Higher education ) . So weather this statement fullfill the following requirement or i need to give English language test .

The qualification must be deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in
the UK.

Plz need quick reply by Senior member as i have booked my appointment for 11th Nov and i need to get everything done by that time .

Sorry I just re-read what you wrote, the degree must be equivalent to a UK degree - Bachelors, Masters or PhD. If the Statement of Comparability is saying it is not, that will not suffice.
