Thanks johann & t_india. My wife's degrees are not awarded points for english in PBS calculator.

I will show NARIC statement of comparability & university letter then:)

Congrats johann79! The info you have given is useful to others. Can you please confirm if the only documents for your wife were a NARIC statement of comparability and letter from university stating it was taught in English? Did they ask any questions like on NARIC english language assessment or poin...

The english language requirement is clear now. I (main applicant) have already proved the english requirement at EC and just need to take printouts of 30 points for qualification and 20 points for english from PBS calculator. But my wife's case is slightly tricky because her qualifications gives 30...

How about the exemption for those who met english requirement at EC as written in KOLL appendixv- immigration rules. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/appendixkoll/ 2.1 An applicant for leave to enter or remain has sufficient knowledge of the English lang...

Samira, I agree with you. Tier 1 gen and Tier 2 gen main applicants need not provide any naric certificate based on the immigration rules as in 2.2 b. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/appendixkoll/ Hope they update the forms soon. At least we now have an...

Thanks. Just to confirm....so I only need to show the LiUK certificate as I am on Tier2 G and hence met a B1 EC requirement.

Amber, is a statement of comparibility required for those who already proved English requirement at entry clearance. For instance I am on Tier 2 general and obviously I have proved the requirement at EC with a degree on PBS calculator. Am I therefore exempt from showing any further proof?

The link is correct and applies from 28-oct-2013. A statement of comparability and letter/certificate confirming it was taught in English will suffice. yes the link shows the updated pdf after clearing cache. Finally we have some clarity regarding this. Amber, can we also assume this requirement is...

Hi tier1 munda,

Is that the correct link you posted, because it takes to the pdf dated 15 august and doesn't have the info you cited. Please check

Thanks t_india. I am under Tier 2 general and had proved english at EC by having degree in PBS. So hope no further proof is required. Can you please provide a link to show that Tier2 General EC english requirement is B1? The proofs explained are for 2.2(iii) and 2.2(iv), but actually we need confirm...

The link that t_india provided and copied below is encouraging w.r.t letter from university. Amber, t_india: how about main applicants who already proved the english requirements at entry clearance. Is there any clarity regarding this? Any link other than the statement of intent pdf they published b...

so, degrees from Asian universities as i understand are not at C1 level, they will return back stating that the degree does not meet C1 CEFR

Just want to double check......is this statement applicable for all institutes in Asia or are there exceptions?

New form is already out guys. But I don't see any update on the guidance notes. yes, strange indeed. I was wondering if isn't the pdf published last month immigration rules? At least in there they have explicitly mentioned two options for degrees as below (which we already know). http://www.ukba.ho...

I have been informed that the Form, Guide and Booklet AN are being updated to reflect the new knowledge of language and life in the UK requirement. This will be available on the website on Monday 28th October 2013. Amber, do you know if the ILR forms and guidance is also updated on Monday 28th Octo...

Hope the smoke clears very soon regarding B1 requirement satisfaction with regards to degrees or english test. UKBA is to be blamed for all this confusion....they impose rules before considering the practicalities involved. The rules change from october 28... and we are still unclear about the exact...

With regards to the letter from University regarding medium of instruction, is there any specific format required for this letter? Does it just have to say the medium of instruction for the course was english on a university letter paper, with sign and seal? Also even if one chooses to go for a NARI...

Thanks params for the quick reply. Also how long did it take to get the NARIC certificate after you send all documents?

Hi Params, Can I check regarding transcripts for the statement of comparability? I have seen the NARIC webpage, but is photocopies of marklist of all the years sufficient for transcript? My wife has BCom and Mcom degrees from India. So do I have to just sent photocopies of degree certificate and all...

So I think people who got 10 point during the initial application i.e. entry clearance; do not have to prove that again (if the degree appears in PBC and awards 10 points).Because if you get 10 point that means you degree is already comparable to UK’s bachelor/Master degree. I also hope the same..t...

A few clarifications needed: Is this requirement only for dependants or also valid for main applicants applying for ILR? For eg, I am the main applicant (Tier 2) and have already proved the points for English based on PBS calculator based on degree initially. Hope I don't need a NARIC comparability ...

Degrees taught in English Those who have obtained a degree taught in English will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification. Those with an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) who provide appropriate evidence that the qualification was ...

Thanks for the reply. But again from the quote provided, statement of comparability only says the degree's comparable level in the UK and not on the medium of instruction. English assessment confirms the medium of instruction but not on UK comparable level. It would appear now that both these statem...

Apologies if I have conveyed the wrong info..but happy to be corrected.

But I am trying to understand how statement of comparability proves that the degree is taught in English. Please let know.

they have applied for Naric comparability letter as well. I hope you mean this one http://ecctis.co.uk/naric/Individuals/Compare%20Qualifications/English%20Language%20Assessment.aspx and not this http://ecctis.co.uk/naric/Individuals/Compare%20Qualifications/Statement%20of%20Comparability.aspx Also...
