If the green paper pushes through, after 5 years of temporary residence, do you have to extend your current visa status for 1 more year? Or is it another visa type and you only need to pass the Life in the UK test and meet the English requirement to become a probationary citizen?

It is not required to send a NARIC letter if you will be claiming for academic qualification. It is only required if you claiming for professional qualification instead.

Hi junk005, How did you know your review request was approved? Did they tell you by phone or email? Or did you just receive the decision letter? Or you an in-country or an overseas applicant? I have also sent a review request on Oct 30. I received an email reply from HO that decision has already bee...

I started looking for vacancies in August. I had several telephone and video interviews until in October, one company was willing to invite me over to the UK for a final assessment, all expenses shouldered by them.
Hopefully, I'll be able to join them in January.

I finally received my decision letter. Just 3 days short of the 28 days allowable period to file for a review. Now I have to speed up and finish my review letter. Basically, they awarded me 70 points although I claimed for 85. Two reasons: (1) my masters degree is equivalent to a UK honours bachelor...
