They asked for my post code and name and then put me through to the "passport department". I explained that my husband received his yesterday and I just wanted to check if mine is on it's way too.

My husband received his passport today, we had our interview on Tuesday. But not mine. Is that normal? Try call dx secure to find out if they have a delivery for you, most likely yours will be delivered tomorrow. thank you TTOE!! I canlled dx secure and my passport is out for delivery today :mrgreen:

Interview was today. Nothing unexpected and they were very friendly. I didn't enjoy the process and was nervous but if you like talking about yourself it may be more enjoyable :) The only question that I didn't prepare for was a question about what comes off my bank account every month but could sti...

You have to attend a ceremony within 90 days and you can book a private one if you can't attend the scheduled one at your council.

Many thanks fairychild, you put my worrying at rest. Thanks again

I forgot to say - you have to pay extra for the private ceremony. ££

I would highly appreciate it if any approved October applicants who USED NCS can clarify my doubts. Do applicants have a choice of choosing the ceremony date? Or is the date already decided on the approval letter? I read in the forum that there is a 2 week window period from receiving the letter to...

I know. but I thought they may tell us to come back and apply at a later stage when we have the documents.

For possible help and info for others: Application submitted through NCS Edinburgh today for my husband and I. My expired IELTS certificate accepted. Husband recently registered as self employed and have not submitted self assessment form yet and she said that was no problem. This happens and if it ...

I have a similar question. My husband has not worked for a few years and have recently registered as self employed and a low earner. He is an artist. (before this he worked as an administrator and all tax paid correctly until he was unemployed and then self employed as artist). He has no self assess...

I think we are all confused at the moment. My suggestion is: a) Is your degree equivalent to a Bachelors degree in the UK? If so you can apply for an English assessment through NARIC. Or b) write a english language test. e.g. IELTS Or c) Write in the Other Information part of your Application that y...

Thanks will try the lost certificate option.

I have my home office letter from my Tier 1 Visa Application in 2010 that say I was awarded points for language requirement. I may just include that in my application.

Loona thank you, that was my understanding too and it is good to hear that Home Office said that. It is just a shame that there is nowhere on the application form to indicate this and I'm not sure if NCS will accept my application as I don't have my expired IETLS Test certificate. Any mention of thi...

Thanks Amber. :) I gave them a call and the advisor said they can only do an English language assessment on a degree that is equivalent to a Bachelors degree in the UK. So if your overseas degree is equivalent to a Bachelors degree in the UK then they can assess it but if it is higher than a Bachelo...

Fingers crossed Pqek!

I found my master degree certfificate and transcript but are unsure if NARIC does english assessment on post grad degree? Is it worth the ££ and will it be level B1?
