Hi,

I'm applying for british citizenship with my wife (joint appln). I'm submitting my university degree from London as a Knowledge of English test certficate. What can my wife submit for Knowledge of English test certficate doc? She did not study in UK, she studied in India.

Also, I see lot of people are talking about driving license & utilities bill as a supporting docs, is it necessary?

Thank you so much for your help.

All applications are individual, i.e. wife applies in her own right.
Easiest way would be to take a B1 language test (from the list of approved test centres), or If the course was taught in English she may be able to obtain a letter from the uni confirming this plus NARIC certification. B1 and NARIC cost the same (c.£150) but the language test is quicker to arrange.
Driving licence and utility bills are not necessary for BC.

Hi, she did her masters from US long time back, will her degree suffice? or NARIC be needed? We submitted the same for ILR application. Thanks.

No, she is Indian but she did her masters from university in the US.

NARIC confirmation required.
