Hi All,

I am on ILR since Feb 2013. Eligible to apply for Naturalisation for me and my wife from end of Feb 2014.

I have done my MSc from London and Wife did her BSc from Backhome. We both passed LIUK before ILR.

1) Do i need to send my degree to NARIC or do the English Test? I do have an expired IELTS though.

2) i did sent my wife's BSc degree to NARIC which they approved is equivalent to UK BSc. Do we need another certificate from NARIC to say something about the degree was taught in English?


Please can someone guide?

Cheers,

1.) You provide your UK degree certificate. You do not need to send it to UK NARIC.

2.) For your wife:
She can see if the PBS Calculator would award her degree 10 pts and if it does, print off the screen shot of this.
(The points based calculator http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator). You can dummy most questions, but on the English Skills Requirement, put in her degree information, and it will say if it's awarded 10 points for English Language Skills. She will need to print off the screen the shows the 10 points awarded for English Skills against your degree details along with the original degree certificate. If there are 0 points awarded for English Skills, then her degree won't meet the requirement.

If the PBS system doesn't award points for English Skills or UK NARIC doesn't deem the course to be taught to the requisite level then she'll have to sit an English test. See (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... -tests.pdf)
