Hello Everyone, I have got my ILR appointment on 8th June at Croydon to apply under Tier 1 (General). My degree was not taught in the UK but was in English and was recognised under PBS Calculator. Based on the new SET (O) form, one needs to either get a NARIC assessment through Visa and Nationality...

Hi - My ILR application was recently approved and I provided following documents for English language:

1. ELA letter from NARIC
2. University letter stating that my degree was taught in English
3. Original degree certificate

and it was accepted by home office.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Had you also applied on same day on 3rd May at PEO Croydon Ved?

I just got a call from homeoffice informing that my ILR is granted. They asked if I want to collect the documents or want a recorded delivery, My PSC was Croydon on the 3rd so looks like the IT system is up. Leaving now for Croydon, but wanted to share this with everyone who is waiting to hear from...
