Degree in English for Naturalization

Hi,

I have received my ILR last year and eligible for Naturalization from May 30th. I have used the Medium of instruction letter from the University, along with the degree certificate and also the PBS which shows my university is recognized by NARIC.

I am wondering whether these documents are good enough for Naturalization or should I need to get a ELA from NARIC as well? I have gone through the application form and the website and it is not 100% clear.

Appreciate any support.

Thanks,
-Senthil

Hi Geriatrix,

Thanks for pointing out the link. I did read through it and from that it seems you have to have a NARIC certified letter.

But If I check on this link

https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english

It specifies as below.
You’ll need your original degree certificate and one of the following:

an original letter or certificate from UK NARIC confirming the equivalent level of your degree, plus an official letter from your university with your name and degree confirming that your degree was taught in English
an original and official certificate from your university confirming the degree was taught or researched in a majority English-speaking country (except Canada)
So from the second option it looks like it is not required. that's why trying to get opinion of the experts on what they think?

Appreciate your support.

Thanks,
-Senthil

Where did you get your degree? The second paragraph in that quote refers to degrees obtained in majority English speaking countries (except Canada), such as the USA, Australia etc.
