Hi, my wife is going to apply nationalization soon. She needs to take B1 exam. Is there any way she can take IELTS exam instead of B1 exam. If yes then which one she can take it like IELTS General or Academic and score required to reach B1 level. Thanks FN There is nothing called B1 exam. In the li...

Check the education under attributes. If you get at least 20 points in there, you are good to go. Please be aware that it is not enough for the degree to be in the list, it should actually give you at least 20 points for education attribute and 10 for English language requirement.

Please remember along with 10 points to English language requirement, the PBS calculator should also give you atleast 20 points for education. Only then the UKBA will accept the PBS print out to satisfy the requirement.

The PBS calculator should give you more than 20 points for your degree in education and 10 points in English language requirement. I think the 20 points is to show that the degree is comparable to UK degree and 10 points to say that the degree was taught in English.

You should be alright. Write a letter explaining that a PBS print is acceptable and that it has been mentioned in number of places in the UKBA website and also by the Home office staff in their emails.

As JPB suggested above send them a brief letter or is there not a number you could call on the letter they sent?

The PBS print out you submitted did it give you at least 20 points for education attribute as well and if yes, did you provide that print out with the application?

I am about to apply for naturalisation and have applied for NARIC certificate. My doubt is does the dependent also require this NARIC certificate about degree taught in English? All applicants need to satisfy the KOLL requirement. Also, I dont understand why would it be the discretion of the casewo...

NARIC is not required if you get 10 points for English language requirement and atleast 20 points for education under attributes in the points calculator.

I was in the same confusion and this is the reply I got from the UKBA.. Dear Sir, We will accept a print out from the points calculator as evidence of English language for a naturalisation application, provided it shows that the degree was awarded at least 20 points for comparability to a UK degree,...

Hi i would like to know more on the from set O section 5.6 states" Please give the start and end dates of the period of maternity, paternity or adoption-related absence (if you are still absent from the workplace due to maternity or adoption-related leave, the end date should be left blank)".

Hi I am planning to apply for ILR, but i am not sure i am eligible or not. I came to UK in 2008 March with work permit. And then after 2 years , my visa was extended to Tier 1 long term. I am planning to apply for ilr on june. Anyone can help me to confirm that i am eligible for ILR or NOT. Thanks ...

In my view, the period of not in employment matters only for work permit visa holders. For tier 1 visa, you just need to satisfy the points required your ILR earning eligibility. may be a stupid question, but I've read they ask payslips and P40/P60 for all 5 years. Why would this be required if onl...

True but here is the customer really the king?
