Yes I have.shaheen wrote:Hi Shahid, do you have a statement of comparability (SoC) from NARIC?
Thanks for the reply. I read the guidance in the beginning and I completely agree with what you have mentioned in the other post and after reading the guidance etc myself I came to the same conclusion but it seems a bit hit and miss. I saw a couple of posts on the forum where naturalization applications were rejected because they did not have either a B1 test cert or a NARIC ELA (even though they had degree and SoC and medium of instruction). After spending thousands of pounds over the previous years on UKBA fees I thought I would spend another £50 and avoid complications and delays ......... but here I amshaheen wrote:You can send your degree, letter from Uni along with SoC and that should fulfil your language requirements. I was in same scenario and I wrote to homeoffice. you can find more details are at this post
Hi Amber,Amber_ wrote:They'll not return fees as they've done what was asked!
Sending the SoC and the ELA with the degree certificate will suffice B1.
Yes I realized that after I got the refusal letter .... a little bit too late. The letter I got does not say anything about B1 so it cannot be used to fulfil B1 either.shaheen wrote:The important point to understand here is that the NARIC only award ELA for C1 not lower or above to this level but for citizenship you only need B1.

''You will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification if you have
obtained an academic qualification deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard
of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the United Kingdom and:
(i) UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English;
I got SoC(Statement of Comparability) i.e., my qualification is equivalent to British Bachelor's degree
I received a letter from UK NARIC when I applied for ELA(English Language Assessment) and its statement is:
Level of English Language: The level of English for the above degree doesn't meet the requirements of CEFR level C1.
Additional Info: Although it's confirmed that English is the medium of instruction in the teaching & examination system of the department providing this award, it unfortunately has not been possible to confirm that the necessary English language requirements for CEFR level C1 are met upon completion.
My question is:
Can I use SoC and and this ELA letter to satisfy English Language requirements?
Thanks
