UK NARIC for FLRM

Post by pkilangovan » Wed Jan 27, 2021 5:35 pm

Hi,

I am a UK citizen and currently in the process of applying for a UK spouse visa extension for my wife (FLR-M) who is an Indian citizen. I am being told by our visa consultant that the UK NARIC certificates we submitted for her current spouse visa is not valid as it is a general purpose one and not a UKVI applications specific one. He was even wondering how was it even accepted last time.

I am a bit confused here. Could someone please advise me if I should apply for a new one or could I reuse the same one? We have, both, statement of comparability for her Masters degree from an Indian university and also an English language assessment letter.

Thanks

Yeah, sent a message to UK NARIC and I was told that my wife had to apply for her UK NARIC once again. She did that and the visa application went through fine and she has been granted an extension.

Good luck with your application.

hi,
Thanks for your answer. Want to be sure if this is the certificate you got from UK NARIC?
Visas and Nationality Service (English proficiency) - £140.00 + VAT* ? and May I know how long it took to get the certificate?

Thank you.

Many people have successfully used their NARIC certificate for extension.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

hi,
Thanks for your response.

Do you mean we can use the same UK NARIC certificate we got for the first Visa application for extension as well after 2.5 years? Please advise. Thank you

Yes, that's the one. Just to be very clear, if you have already got one, you need not apply for it again. It doesn't expire. We had to get a new one because we had a general purpose one and not the Visa and nationality service one and our consultant advised us to get the right one. I emailed UK NARIC querying the same and they suggested to re-apply as well. Hope this makes sense.

Correct as long as NARIC statement is above the required level for the next stage.
