Please go to this Link below:

and follow the steps

1. Tier dropdown: select Tier 2 (Skilled workers);
Category drop-down: select Tier 2 (General);
‘Where are you applying from?’ question: select Outside the United Kingdom (this is the quickest way to get to the required stage in the system);
2. In the following ‘Sponsorship’ and ‘Salary’ stages select either Yes or No; (doesn’t matter which);
3. In the ‘English skills’ stage, select I have a UK Bachelor/Masters degree-equivalent qualification (or above) that was taught in English;
4. Enter details of the qualification in the following drop-down lists, up to and including ‘Year of award’;
5. In the table displayed on the next screen, check the Points for English language column:

a. If 10 points are displayed, the qualification has been deemed by UK NARIC to be academically equivalent to a UK Bachelor degree or higher and to have been taught in English;

b. If zero points are displayed, the qualification may either have been deemed to be below UK Bachelor degree level, or not taught in English, or both.”


I hope this is helpful to you.

I checked with my credit card company.. HO has still not taken the fees. I applied on 8/9/15 through NCS. I got an email acknowledgement of the receipt of my file. The email address was hocommunications@communications.homeoffice.gov.uk

It has my case ID no. However, this is a system generated response and they say not to reply to this email address. Me and my wife applied togather. But only I got the email. She is still waiting for hers. Go figure.
