Hi Pals,

Apologies but I couldn't find a clear answer, hence posting this query which may be duplicate.

If one has got engineering degree from India and holding ILR for 5 years. Would that naturalisation applicant need to produce both AQUALS And ELPS certificates from NARIC. I feel it's bit too much, as the previous ILR application went through well with the same degree.

Following documents are in place already:

1. Degree certificate in english
2. Marksheets in english
3. English Medium letter from Registrar of University

Taken from guidance book:
"If your degree is not from a UK university you’ll need:

a copy of your degree certificate
an Academic Qualification Level Statement (AQUALS) from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) confirming the degree is equivalent to a UK qualification.
If your degree is from a non-majority English-speaking country you’ll also need an English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS) from Ecctis confirming the degree was taught in English
."

Thanks,
S

Do you have ILR under the UK Immigration Rules? And if so, did you meet the English language requirements at that stage?

Thanks for your reply. Yes I’ve ILR since 5 years. I used self assessment point based calculator to gain 10 points for English language stating my 4 years engineering degree.
