Hello

I received my ILR in 2011 and am now applying for naturalisation (personal reasons for the delay).
At the time of the ILR, I took the Life in the UK test and didnt need any further english tests as far as i can recall.
I have a Bachelors degree and also a post graduate qualification from India, all in English.
As I understood it, I could either get an Ecctis certification, or take a B1 level English exam.

For matters of expedience, I took the trinity college exam and received the pass certificate (digital)

Now, when I fill out my UK visa naturalisation form, I am a bit perplexed.

I am asked if I have a degree. If I say yes, the list of documents needed have the degree certificate and the ecctis certificate as requirements. There seems to be no place to enter the B1 exam reference code.

If I say NO, I am technically lying on the form. I do have an degree although its from India.
But it does let me say that I have passed the english language B1 test, and enter the relevant reference.

Could some one please advice me ?

The questions relates ONLY to meeting the English requirements and nothing else. Simply state no to the degree question.

Thanks for your replies.
******
English language
Do you have a degree that was taught in English?No
*******
Just to be clear this above is how the form asks the question.
Pardon my ingnorace, but are you saying I should say NO to the above?
If i do that, i do indeed get a chance to enter the test ref number.
But the question does seem a little black and white.

You need to meet the English requirements using EITHER option.

Select NO for foreign degree. It isn't complicated at all.

It is not complicated and if you want to move forward with your application, answer No to question also in black and white.
Then it gives you option to use English Language Test reference.
