Hi Sushdmehta I had a similar doubt about english language requirement and has been browsing through the forum. The note in guidance says: You’ll need your original degree certificate and one of the following: a printout from the points-based calculator with the equivalent level of your degree and t...

I had submitted my application on 17th May 2014 via Post Office check & send service and til date I haven't received any text. Is this normal? Should I contact the office and check if they have received the documents and are being looked into?

Thanks guys for your feedback. I am going to use Post Office Check & Send service.

tom.tom, I too have applied in a similar way via NCS. I did see many posts in the forum where people have successfully completed naturalisation process by giving pbs print out and original degree certificate.

Sorry, I did read the full page and couldn't find anything except One can prove knowledge of English by having either: an English qualification at B1 level a degree taught or researched in English Going with second option, the page only says: Degrees taught or researched in English You’ll need to pr...

@Spidery_thread

In the same link and just below the notes from your comment it says:

You’ll need to provide your original degree certificate and 1 of the following:
a printout from the points-based calculator with the equivalent level of your degree and the level of English

Does the point based calculator give you minimum 20 points for education and 10 points for English requirement? If yes, I don't see any reason why home office is asking for you to get it certified from NARIC.

Thank you guys for the reply. I too noticed it was in beta and hence posted my question. ken218, please let me know how it goes in terms of any delay or home office requesting additional docs etc..From what I have seen in the forum, it usually takes a ~month to get british passport if one choose pos...

Hi, Has anyone applied for British Passport online (https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport)? Just wanted to check if its a better service than Post Office Check & Send service. OR is it worth paying an extra and go ahead with Post Office service? Standard 32-page passport fee Normal service (on...

OK, just got some further info on this. NCS should accept your application, please refer to: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/applying/applicationtypes/naturalisation/kol/english-qualification/ -> If you have a degree taught in English: -> A printout from the points-based calcula...

I am too in a similar situation. After going through lots of posts in this forum I understood we can submit below documents to NCS and should be able to clear the English language requirement 1) Print of points based calculator where you are awarded 10 points after selecting your College/University ...

Thank you Guys. I will apply on 21st. I was in UK for the whole of March and April.

Hi,

Please can someone answer my query regarding NCS appointment?

I got my ILR on 21st March 2013. Can I book an appointment with NCS on 21st March 2014 and submit the application (exactly the same day after one year)? OR do I need to wait for 24th March 2014 (next working day)?

Thanks,

Hi Vinny / Senior members

Please can you advise?

Hi Vinny,

My wife would be applying for ILR using the SET(O) form in the coming month. Couple of questions:

1) I believe we don't need to complete section 9 in the form?
2) Do we both need to show 6 month bank statements along with cohabitation documents? please can you advise?

Thanks

@gre.bm691

I didn't provide any covering letter but have filled the leave section.

Yes, it was verified and approved before asking to make the payment

Hi Poornesh,

I am also in a similar situation. Did you manage to get the answers?

Thanks

Hi Sree,

Were you able to successfully apply using SET(O) form? Please can you let me know which supporting documents you have submitted?

Thanks

@sbadra - You mentioned there is a gap in your Visa?

2. No visa continuation within 5 years period (Gap between Work Permit and fresh Tier 2 ICT received on 06th August 2010)

In that case your continuous period is broken.

28 days Prior to 09/september/2013. You will not complete 5 years in case of 31/August/2013
