thanks all. I guess I will just ask my dependent to the B1 exam. Cost wise, there isn't much difference between getting the NARIC letter and taking the B1 exam. Exams saves us the hassle of chasing Uni for transcripts and english language letter.

Thanks, I was thinking the same.
So I suppose it's B1 SELT-GESE grade 5 [url]http://www.trinitycollege.com/site/?id=3220[/url] ?

Hello all, I am in the process of applying for ILR with one adult dependent. I have a question about the NARIC letter. My dependent's degree is not from UK and Home office have shut down the calculator so we need to get a letter from UK NARIC. NARIC is asking for degree certificate, transcripts and ...

Thanks CR001 and O_Relly.
O_Relly, it's reassuring to hear that people indeed get their ILR back in 3-4 weeks when applied by post, provided the application is straightforward. Postal is definitely the way forward for me.

Thanks Greenie for the quick reply and also the good news. I was worried that my application is not under consideration yet because the waiting times page says they have started considering applications from this monday where "Biometric information has been given on or before the 23 January 201...
