Degree required for an ILR application (5 year route) ?
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2019 4:12 pm
I am on a Tier 2 General visa since Oct 2015 and will hopefully apply for ILR next year. One question I keep pondering about is:
Is a degree required for an ILR application? So the NARIC comparability assessment is required for English proficiency but I believe for the same money you could take a comparable approved test.
When I applied for Tier 2 General, degree verification by NARIC was not required and the self assessment had a section with a list of awarding institute names you could select from. I did that. I have not needed an extension as the original leave was for a period of 5 years.
So the question is outside the proficiency in English requirement, is the NARIC degree comparability test a requirement for an ILR application.
The answer to the question would determine whether I need to arrange degree transcripts from home country.
