Hi

I am looking to apply for British Citizenship. I got my ILR in May 2015 after being on Tier 2 for 5 years. Now when I look to apply for citizenship and documents for the same, there is a requirement for english. I have Life in UK certificate as one and as for other the applications says that if I have done ILR post 28Oct 2013, I dont need to furnish any more proof for english qualification as it would have been checked then. But when I look at the documents lists, it asks me to get NARIC certification.

Any help here please will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
Mohit

I have no personal experience with the English language requirement, so here is my best guess based on the information I've read on this board and from reading the guidance.

In your place, I would tick the box that says, "I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013" and send (or, if you're using an NCS, bring to your appointment) the degree certificate that you used for your ILR application.

I don't think you need to get a NARIC if your degree certificate without the NARIC was deemed sufficient for your ILR application in May 2015. However, it might be worth double-checking with an NCS and following the caseworker's advice.

Thanks a lot. When I had applied for ILR it was still a point based system and the degree awarded me points for english qualification and there was no such NARIC required.
