Do I need Naric ?

[sri23]

Hi,

I am a British citizen and my spouse is applying for spouse visa from India.

I have my spouse final degree certificate, final transcript and a letter from University confirming that the degree was taught in English.

Is this sufficient to meet English language criteria? If not, do I need to provide any NARIC certificate?

If yes, which one - the new NARIC site with Blue and Red route is confusing.

Thanks in advance

Its not sufficient. It was quiet easy for my partner to pass IELTS life Skills A1 test in Pakistan which is valid for two years . She had MSC degree but I have seen some people having complication when try to satisfy English language requirement through NARIC route but if you wanna chose that route then these are requirements

You’ll need your original degree certificate and one of the following:

an original letter or certificate from UK NARIC confirming the equivalent level of your degree, plus an official letter from your university with your name and degree confirming that your degree was taught in English

or
an original and official certificate from your university confirming the degree was taught or researched in a majority English-speaking country (except Canada)

Right, just to make it clear. My spouse is not in the list of majority English speaking countries but we have

- Original degree and transcript
- Letter from University confirming it was taught in English.

When I look at page 14-15 of this doc, it seems to imply I do not need a letter from Naric. Can someone please confirm?

If I indeed need one, can someone advise which one? There is blue and red route and it is confusing.

Why you dont ask your partner to pass this simple test IELTS LIFE SKILLS A1 which is much easier and will save you from confusion. Your partner is not from English speaking country so you definitely need NARIC if dont pass IELTS lifeskills A1..again this

" an original letter or certificate from UK NARIC confirming the equivalent level of your degree, plus an official letter from your university with your name and degree confirming that your degree was taught in English"
according to Naric website
Blue route= work and study
Red Route= Visa/immigration/settlement

you need the English Language Assessment
