ILR application and English language knowledge proof

Post by vvnair0410 » Fri Oct 21, 2016 7:22 pm

Hi Guys,

I have my ILR application next week and am in a big dilemna. I am on a tier 2 general visa and was awarded 10 points for my degree being in English when I first made the application back in 2011. My solicitor is of the advise that since I had got my application granted then based on my degree certificate I do not need a NARIC certificate or a English language test. Following is the excerpt which he quotes, Page 34 from the KOLL document.
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... v19.0.pdf
"If we have previously accepted a degree qualification as meeting the requirements for an earlier application, and leave was granted, we will not need additional confirmation from NARIC. If the qualification has not previously been used for an immigration application, or the previous application was refused, the applicant must obtain confirmation from NARIC that it meets the relevant criteria. Degrees obtained in the UK are acceptable without UK NARIC assessment. If the applicant has a degree that was taught or researched in a majority English speaking country (excluding Canada) they must provide"
Can someone who might have experienced similar situation kindly help in getting over this dilemna?
I am just mindful of the date of application next week and hence its ringing alarm bells.
