Hi

I was in the same situation and I have got ILR last year through tier 1 route, applied naturalisation via NCS.

1.Do i still need to UKNARIC compulsory?
I did my application recently and was confused like you;
Initially the lady at NCS said she needs a NARIC certificate despite it being mentioned in Guide that we do not need it, she said there has been a policy change.

When I insisted she called the Home Office to check who checked my BRP card (via entering BRP card number in their system) and confirmed I have proved my english and is ok to take my application without the NARIC certificate

If you have time its better to get NARIC certificate but I do not think it is mandatory.

I am saying by experience, I am not an expert.


3.Do i need to get any letter from my indian university along with UKNARIC certificate as well?
Only NARIC is enough

4.I have Bachelor degree and Masters degree, do i need to get UKNARIC for both or just Masters is enough?
only Maters

Hi,

I as well applied last week and had already proved English Language requirement during my ILR last year on 10th May 2015, but NCS wanted a NARIC letter after insisting they called Home Office and they accepted that without much fuss then.

I cannot believe NCS don't know about this already, and this is all money making stuff, when Home Office have clearly mentioned people applying for naturalization who have already proved English Language requirement during ILR after 23rd Oct 2013 don't need to prove again.

Why we should waste single penny more on something we don't need to on getting NARIC letter etc.
