Hi All.

Please I would like to be guided as I have conflicting information. We will be due for ILR next year, but not sure if my wife will have to show English Test qualification. Please advise.

Thank you.

Not only english test but also life in uk test (known on forum as LIUK)

The english test is really easy (If she communicates day to day in English at almost any level)

LIUK not particularly difficult but needs preparing. In itself it's fun learning. Start now and then it won't be under pressure.

She holds a BA degree taught in English (not UK degree) - any relevance?

She needs B1 English test OR she needs UK NARIC UKVI red route. They both cost the same - £150'ish. English test is quicker.

Degree in English from correct Uni etc is OK. Reasearch the credentials needed.

For me it was easier to do the english test then to run after proof of my taught in English Masters

I saw this on the FAQ

Q7: What documentary evidence(s) do I need to include if I fulfill the requirements by either Q3 or Q4?
a) If you are fulfilling the requirement on the basis of a degree taught or researched in English and obtained in UK (i.e.- UK qualification), then:
1. Your original degree certificate.
b) If you are fulfilling the requirement on basis of a degree taught or researched in English and obtained overseas (i.e.- overseas qualification), then:then:
1. Your original degree certificate, and
2. a statement obtained through the NARIC's Visa and Nationality Service.

c) If you are fulfilling the requirement on the basis of an approved test, then:
Certificate showing that you have a speaking and listening qualification in English at B1 CEFR or higher, or an equivalent level qualification. (If you sat a Home Office approved test you may not have a certificate, but should ensure that you state the necessary details in the form).

My question is that on (b) above, with the original certificate, I just need a statement obtained from NARIC. On the NARIC website to obtain the statement I need to fill the Immigration Tier my wife is on and which Immigration Route. The options under which Immigration Tier = Tiers 1 - 5, Settlement, Nationality. Which do I choose?
