UK NARIC certificate validity

[Sami173]

I am applying for Tier 2 change of employment visa. I have a UK NARIC certifivcate (for English language and qualification) that I used it two years ago for my first Tier 2 visa application.
Can I use it again for the new visa application?

You may write them an email to confirm

Many thanks for your reply. I couldn't make sure if it is acceptable to use it again or not. The statement in UK NARIC website is ambiguous and says that depends on Home Office.
Is there anybody who had the same situation and got the visa successfully?
Thanks for your help guys I really need it as I paid a lot of money for the visa application.

Hey Sami, Also can you please let me know if we need to prove English abilities as my solicitor told me I dont need Naric as I am already in the UK. I am confused.

Can some please confirm if thats the case else I need to prepare for Naric. I dont know how to get the initial one as when I came here for the first time some law firm had taken care of whole visa process and I dont have that certificate please advise.

Hi Vtox. First, I want to give an update on my change of employment Tier 2 visa application. I applied for Tier 2 super priotity (Croydon supra center) and I used my previous UK NARIC certificates (issued in 2018) of qualification and Englih language asessments. Before applying I consulted with a solicator and they told me that UK NARIC changed its format since 2017 or 2018, so your certificats are in the new format so everything is fine and you can reuse them. I applied and my Visa application was successfull.
Second, I provided the UK NARIC English language certificate for my change of employment Tier 2 visa application as the solicator told me you need it to do. Please double check it with a solicator.
List of documents I provided for my change of employment Tir 2 Visa application:
MABDATORY DOCUMENTS: Pasport, my current BRP, Police registratiin form ( some nationalities need to register with Police)
Supporting documents: 1. UK NARIC certificates ( university degre qualification and English language certificate)
2. One cover letter stating that I want to change my job with a new sponsor. I wrote my name, my BRP number, start and end dates of BRP, Start and end dates of my new COS.
3. My new COS
4. I did not provide financial evidence as maitanence was certified by my sponsor in the COS.

Hey Sami,

Thank you for your reply.

I need to double-check with my solicitor if I need UK Nadic as he once said that I dont need it.

1) Below you said change of employment Tier 2 visa application what do you mean by this according to my understanding its completely new application right?

2) What is the Police registration form ( some nationalities need to register with Police) I dont any thing about this I am Indian so do I need this?

3) CAn you also share how long this whole process took from COS allocation to getting confirmation of visa?

4) Do you know how long unrestricted COS is valid?
