How many days has UK NARIC took to process your application?

Post by IndiMarshall » Tue Apr 29, 2014 4:59 pm

How many days has UK NARIC took to process your
1)Statement of Comparability
2)English lang assesment
assuming your degree is mentioned in PBS calculator.

Although it differs from person to person I would like to know how much time do they take. Do they really take 15 working days from the day they pick it up or has anyone here got it in very few days like less than 10 days?

Please let me know. My NCS appointment is due next week I am calculating my chances.

Thanks in advance.

applied on 6th April. (SOC)

It was posted today on 29th April.

Another 3 days to receive it.

That is 15 working days for them to complete (without post).

UK NARIC is probably the worst company. What they do is change your applicaiton date to the date when they start looking at your case and then calculate 15 working days from that to complete.

It is probably no more than 30 minutes job but they intentionally delay it so that you pay them more for the rapid turnaorund time.

Similar experience here. Applied on 15th April, uploaded all documents immediately, no update till 29th and then they changed the application date to 29th and now its saying they will approximately take until 15th May to post the certificates ........ absolutely horrendous service.

About two weeks (10 - 11 working days) for my wife's assessment. We didn't pay anything extra for that turn around.

If tracking says still in progress, you can try calling them. They should be able to change it.

There are some success stories who applied with just PBS printout: An example:
bhushk wrote:Eligibility criteria: WP+Tier1+ILR
Language criteria met (UK degree, exempt countries, PBS used documents, NARIC, or B1 test): PBS used Document
Current nationality: Indian
Method of application: NCS
Council name if NCS used: Telford & Wrekin
Date of application: 10/03/2014
Payment method CC/DC, Personal cheque, Bankers cheque etc: DC
Date of receipt by UKBA: 11/03/2014
Date of aknowlegment: 14/03/2014 (Received on 18/03/2014)
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 17/03/2014
Date approval received: 30/04/2014 dated 24/04/2014
Date of ceremony:18 June 2014

Update in red color .

P.S. : Just to clarify, I have used print out of PBS and copy of degree certificate for language criteria. I have not used any NARIC certificate. No extra documents needed if the degree is recognised on PBS

All the best to everyone!!

Nope. You have an option of selecting next day delivery while ordering NARIC certs, meaning once the certs are ready you get them by next day.

If you think it's quite long... You can go for Fast Track Service which costs £210.00 + VAT* (£252.00) for 24 hours and £160.00 + VAT* (£192.00) for 48 hours.

You can find more details here... http://www.ecctis.co.uk/naric/Individua ... rices.aspx
