Regarding Original Degree certificate

[kishorerjy]

Hi Friends, I got a sponsor for my TIER 2 General non shortage occupation job.

For this I need to pass English language skills and I am showing my Degree taught in English as a substitute.

I have sent the scanner copy of my original degree to UKNARIC and they are reviewing it.

But when I go for Visa interview do I need to show VFS global my original degree? Unfortunately I lost my original degree and marks list certificates . Now I only have scanned copies. Would that be an issue ?

Thanks in advance

(ii) provides the following specified documents to show he has the qualification:

(a) the applicant’s name,
(b) the name of the awarding institution,
(c) the title of the award,
(d) confirmation that the qualification has been or will be awarded, and

Thanks Vinny.

So let's say if we managed to get duplicate OD from university then do we still need to show them the marks transcript?

I think an official replacement degree certificate should be equivalent to the original.

Let's say I have OD duplicate from University then do I need CMM(consolidated marks memo)?

What does Appendix B say?

Hi Vinny, as per that it says original degree and NARIC statement is enough. But my consultancy says we need marks list as well. That's why I got.confused

If you have it, then there is no harm in supplying it.

Maybe ask your consultancy where they are getting that information. If they say "just in case", ask them "just in case what?"

Unfortunately, consultants sometimes pretend that they have access to secret requirements, and that the published guidance you can see with your own eyes is trying to trick you.

I agree that it won't hurt your application if you happen to already have this extra document handy, but it will not help it either.

Thanks vinny and sha10406. I don't have marks list but I do have OD and can I submit photo copy of marks list to VFS ? Because in their site I read they do accept photo copies . But I just want to cross check
