Re: New KoLL & NARIC , Contradiction or Confusion , Please h

It is rather very helpful to read replies in preceding posts particularly of 2 Jan 2014 from HSMPLOCHA in order to understand what is actually prescribed for present application of Naturalization under the relevant law, the British Nationality Act, and not what Immigration Rules required for entry/...

Re: New KoLL & NARIC , Contradiction or Confusion , Please h

Kahn, thanks. If the point is all about the degree was taught in English. Why they want to have that validated by a third-party. Are the UKBA/HO not trust what they accepted themselves few years ago? Why do we have to go through a new chain of pain again and again when you got to move to the next le...

Hi Vinya, I am more or less on the same boat. This is frustrating that you have to prove "your English" after 15 years working in this country. Whatever it is... it looks like someone after more money. Anyways... My situation is; when I first got HSMP I have proved the requirement with a letter from...

Hello, I've never had my Degree endorsed by UK NARIC although it was required from all the way I applied for HSMP (2007), Transition to Tier 1 (General) in 2009 or when I had my Residency in 2012. Instead I had a letter from my University to confirm that the Degree was taught in English medium and I...

I must say however that looking at our data on here, 45 days average processing time does not include the application waiting to be processed and after a decision has been made, waiting for your ILR label. I think the 45day average is for the "actual processing time" so in other words - yet again t...
