Hi I got married 3 years ago. I was an Indian citizen at that time with Indian passport and UK ILR. Got married in India and got the marriage certificate from the court from India. Applied for my wife's spouse visa from Delhi using the same marriage certificate. My wife has been here with me for las...
Thanks nks. I'm not sure what the rules are now regarding this. Been a while since I looked into it. I got married in Feb 2012 when I was on ILR. My wife got her spouse visa in April 2012 and came to the UK in May 2012. Some major changes were made to the immigration rules in July 2012, the biggest ...
Hi guys Thanks for all your help with my query. Just an quick update on my situation. My wife got her ILR biometric card yesterday and today she got all her documents back as well. Thank God. I did what one of the other member suggested regarding my situation. The Home Office were asking for proof t...
Thanks. I will call the Home Office again on Tuesday and also write an email to confirm. I gave IELTS when I applied for my ILR, wondering if that is still acceptable. I live in Scotland and I'm not sure which ESOL test to take here, I only know of IELTS, but not sure if it is acceptable. Even if it...
Thanks for all your replies and help. If you read my earlier post where I have quoted the wording of Home Office, it clearly acknowledged that the degree and Pas calculator confirms the equivalence of the degree to UK Bachelor's degree, but not the English level. What they're looking for is a letter...
Thanks guys. Yes she used the same degree to apply for her visa from India to come to the UK after we got married in Feb 2012 and she came to the UK in May 2012. We applied for her ILR in June 2014 and it was delayed because of a court case with some work related issues. When we applied, the Teir 1 ...
Thanks that is what I was unsure as well, when I have submitted the original degree and a printout of the Point Based Calculator confirming 10 points, why do I still need a letter from Naric to confirm the same ? I called Naric just now as well, and according to them if I need an English Language As...
The letter says : "From Oct 2013 applicants must demonstrate sufficient Knowledge of English and about life in the UK. It is noted that you have submitted a Degree from X University which has been confirmed by UK Nairc to be equivalent to a UK Bachelor Degree. However, in accordance with Appendix KO...
Hi We applied for my wifes ILR (pre June 2012 rules) and just got a letter today from Home Office to say that they require a letter from UK Naric to confirm that her degree from India was taught in English. When we applied for ILR , we sent her original Bachelors Degree from India, with a print out ...
Dear All I am on a UK spouse visa which ends at the end of July 2014. I applied for a UK spouse visa in February 2012 and came to the UK in May 2012, so I am eligible to apply under the 2 years rule. At the time of applying my husband was on ILR and became a UK citizen in February 2013. A brief hist...
Hi Guys, I am planning to visit India soon and i have a question in mind if someone can help. Every time, over the course of 10 years, whenever i came back from India i put the left over indian rupees in a box hoping to take it back with me and use it in India, which did not happen. Some of that mon...

Its makes sense NickyRaj So if the English language requirement is a proposal (not a rule yet).. Does that mean you can still do ESOL with citzenship course. In other words the current language requirements apply? Either 1. ESOL with citizenship Or 2. Pass the LIFE IN THE UK TEST. Well according to...
Hi Mal1990 1. Your wife can apply for her ILR 28 days before her arrival date in the UK. Your wife arrived in the UK on 29/06/12. So, she can apply anytime between 01-06-14 and 24-09-14 when her existing visa is running out. 2. Your wife applied for her visa and arrived in the UK before the new rule...
I had the same problem. I had 2 credit cards and 2 bank accounts with overdrafts. Due to change in my personal circumstances, i had to withdraw all the money from my accounts including the overdraft and credit cards as well, because i needed the money for something urgent back home. I went on a paym...
Hi Thanks for your reply. My wife is sitting her exam on 21st March, so she will be examined on the old handbook. However, the dilemma with the ESOL requirement still remains, which is kind of bugging her, because she wants to get this LIUK hurdle out her way for her ILR. Lets see what UKBA comes ou...
Update: I called the HomeOffice to check the rules regarding the new Life in the UK+ESOL test requirement for Settlement from October 2013, and asked them how these changes are coming into effect, and would it have any effect on my wife's case. I also asked them if she sits her LIUK test just now, a...
