NARIC COMPARABILITY ISSUE

[mooty]

I had applied for the NARIC Comparability statement and English Language assessment for The MSC degree obtained in Pakistan. They have confirmed that the MSC degree in Pakistan is considered British Bachelor degree standard but in the English Language assessment NARIC said that it does not meet he requirements of CEFR level C1. I am about to apply a spouse visa for my wife from Pakistan. I am not sure whether I should apply for the visa or based on the comparability report only. feedback is appreciated.

If the ELA states that the degree was taught in English (even if not to a C1 level), that with the SoC will suffice.

Thanks Amber for your inputs. Just a quick question.
Is providing contract of employment mandatory? I am providing a letter from the employer. would the providing letter be suffice?

(ii) any period of salaried employment in the period of 12 months prior to the date of application if the person has been employed by their current employer for less than 6 months (or at least 6 months but the person does not rely on paragraph 13(a) of this Appendix), or in the financial year(s) relied upon by a self-employed person.

(b) A letter from the employer(s) who issued the payslips at paragraph 2(a) confirming:
