Hi all,
I am really confused about english requirement for tier 2. I do have NARIC statement of comparability and english language assessment ordered via the blue route.But now I am planning to order another one via RED route as I dont want to take any chance. Any one who got visa by submitting Naric and not IELTS???

I would be really grateful if someone can help me in this.
Thanks

When I spoke to UK NARIC team when I applied for my english, statement comparability via blue route (later changed it to red route - just before the assesment)

What I heard from him is - UKBA as of now still accepts blue route certificates for VISAs, although red route is more appropriate. Also he said, in future (they will release a official note), they wont be accepting blue, but only red

Also, to your other question - yes I saw so many people on this forum, who applied with NARIC certificates. And I am doing it similarly in a week's time

I hope I answered, please dont worry.

blue route assessment and certificates given by NARIC are suitable for academic applications, red is for VISA applications

Hi Ashish
Thank you so much for your reply.
I have been doing a lot of reading about visa requirements, but I end up getting more confused.
Also, my blue naric says CEFR level C1. from my knowledge i suppose that is acceptable for tier 2 general .
I hope I am correct. could u please clear this as well !!

The requirement states it must be taught in English and assessed AND comparable to a UK Bachelor. So you need ELA and Comparable assessment.

having an academic qualification that was taught in English and is recognised by UK NARIC as being equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree, master’s
degree or PhD

As I stated in my first reply post on this, both red and blue are good for Tier 2 Gen requirement. red is most appropriate, blue is also acceptable (as told by NARIC customer care, and will soon not acceptable - once they give official note)

Thats the reason I am planning to get a new one under red route.
the reply from NARIC team was " Depending on your visa ELR may be enough but we reccommend you to contact the Home office for confirmation"

yes, better be safe - perhaps an additional cost of 120 GBP is a little pain!!

Hello,

Apart from Original degree what are the other documents required to be uploaded to NARIC?

If my Original degree certifcate contains statement saying that the medium of instruction is english, do I still have to submit a MOI letter?

Also, by transcripts are they referring to scanned images of xerox copies attested or scanned images of original mark sheets?

Please let me know

Hello,
Ideally you need to scan your original degree, original transcript and MOI.
U can ask them regarding MOI( message them on facebook they are really quick).
And transcript you need to get from your university.( that has got marks of all years and subjects in one sheet).
