I think for T2 ILR, there is a requirement to provide letter from employer that your services are still required.

Thankyou. That's reassuring.

Hi, To add to umpteen queries for meeting English language requirement with PBS calculator output, can we have some light on this: Engineering qualifications come into 'Professional' degree even with PBS. The requirement https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/42587...

Thanks. May be exact wording of reply from home office will help to clarify this. I think it was first in July 2012 that English language requirement was introduced and made effective from October 2013. May be this is what is referred to in reply.

Congrats. Can you please expand on rules prior to July 2012? Does it mean pbs calculator isn't valid now?

I thought appointments are released only 42 days in prior. Which PEO you got the appointment for 23rd July?

Yes, it is needed as per my understanding of guidance

Congrats. Good to see pbs calculator printout for English language is acceptable as per guidance since there is some contention for same since application form change on 6th April.

Looking further into this, it kind of appears that requirement is likely for 'equivalence certificate'. Refer https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english It says you will need original certificate and 1 of following: -PBS printout showing both 'equivalence' and 'English level' -NARIC equi...

You may also want to check the thread below, where the same has been confirmed by the settlement ops team. As suggested I would write to them and get personal confirmation which you can then present to them. http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/english-qualification-in-04-201...

Did your wife use same degree for meeting English language requirements in past? I would reply to this letter with reference to UKVI guidelines saying PBS calculator printout would suffice and insist that degree with PBS calculator output meets KOLL requirements. If same degree was used in past, tha...

confusing... The letter says NARIC has confirmed and then goes on to ask for letter from NARIC. The autoreply in post above also confirms that a PBS calculator printout with 10 points should suffice. I think you can go back with the reply from UKVI in post above and clarify that KOLL requirements ar...

can you provide exact wordings of letter please?

This has been discussed in detail earlier around April 6th if you run a search. It seems, we can use PBS calculator printout from Tier 2 for English requirement purposes.

Hello,

To those who have done LIUKT in Slough, do they have locker or holding facility for your Mobile Phones, study material etc? I don't think those will be allowed in test rooms.

Thanks,
nks

Think this should close the thread. Good luck all who are applying soon and please do update here of your outcome.

Guys I called up the UKVI call centre number at 0300 123 2253 just now. I was told the following: * if we have booked our appointment before 6 April 2015 then we can use the old version (10 / 14) and supply documents for English requirements mentioned in that version (PBS print out + original degre...

Thanks for your replies guys. I understand that the guidance hasn't been changed yet but conscious that it may get changed in coming days in near future. I missed to mention earlier that I had already stored the soft copy of the output of PBS calculator earlier which does show the Tier1 options wit...

You are right mate that there hasn't been any update in the guidelines but it's just it has become difficult to decide what to fill up in the form. According to form it looks like if you've not studied in UK then either you need to have the letter from UK NARIC OR You need to do the English B1 test...

The guidance doesn't seem to have any update in this regard https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... -in-the-uk
It says (pg 32), printout from PBS calculator can be accepted, but now, since there isn't any calculator for Tier 1, lets see how will this work out.

If it's just for proving English language requirement, may be PBS calculator from Tier 2 General could suffice??

Thanks. Can someone with middle name confirm how does it look like in BRP? I know this is being too cynical but there isn't dearth of posts on net about people being turned away for minor discrepancies.

Hello, Say my name is Xx Yy Zz. My passport says Xx Yy as Forenames and Zz as last name. I reckon I always used Xx Yy as my first names and never used middle name in all the forms I ever filled. While booking LIUKT, it asks for ‘Last Name’, ‘First Names’ and ‘Middle Name’ with a bold warning “make s...

Thank you. That was a lame question indeed, apologies.
