ILR - Tier 1 (Gen) - English Language - NARIC Confirmation?

[skk21]

Hi,
I am on Tier 1 (General) and applying for ILR using SET (O) form.

Please Refer Below Two–
-------------------------
1. Form SET (O) - Page 15- “Section 4 - Knowledge of language and life in the UK” AND
2. KOLL-v19 – Page 34 – “Degree qualifications” Below Paragraph: -
“If we have previously accepted a degree qualification as meeting the requirements for an earlier application, and leave was granted, we will not need additional confirmation from NARIC. If the qualification has not previously been used for an immigration application, or the previous application was refused, the applicant must obtain confirmation from NARIC that it meets the relevant criteria. “
----------

My Query
----------
I fall in category that My Masters degree was previously recognised degree on PBS system and have the print out of the same. Also my all previous leaves to remain were successfully approved first time. My Degree is all written in English as well.
Do I still need to get my Degree recognised by NARIC through Red route? The query is because there is no option to choose for this category in Section 4 of Set (O) form.
-------------

Hope someone knows about this and can help, else may have to just spend GBP 150 for this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi skk21

There's FAQ regarding this at http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... 93792.html

Bottom line, and if I understood you correctly that your question is about proving your english degree, then you need NARIC to confirm it.

It's fairly easy to do, all you need is your graduation certificate, transcript, and medium-of-instruction letter. You can do it all online on NARIC website.

Hi amrhady,

Thanks for your response. I had gone through the FAQ regarding this at "indefinite-leave-to-remain/faqs-english-language-requirements-for-settlement-t193792.html", but unfortunately it does not cover this case in particular.

I was trying to see if I can save GBP 150 by not doing NARIC and based on what is mentioned in KoLL.

Looking forward for more responses.

Thanks,
Skk

I am in the same situation as yours. Unfortunately you cannot save 150 pounds.

In order to tick the below points in page 15 you have to get a letter from NARIC or write the english exam.

/* Starting from-->
And either
• A speaking and listening qualification at level B1 or above from the Secure English Language Test (SELT) list (Go to question 4.5 below);
OR
• 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:
˗˗UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English

I belong to #1 option above - As I have letter from University for english, I think we just need just a comparability certificate from NARIC, so went to NARIC website.
On NARIC website - under Red Route Registration (http://naric.org.uk/visas%20and%20natio ... ister.aspx), I could not find the Tier 1 General option under Immigration Route drop down.

Also under further information it mentions below: -
http://naric.org.uk/visas%20and%20natio ... ation.aspx
"....The VisasAndNationality service supports applications made through the following PBS (Points-Based System) immigration routes:

Tier 1 Entrepreneur
Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur
Tier 2 General
Tier 2 Ministry of Religion
Tier 2 Sportsperson
Representative of an Overseas Business visa
"

Question
------------
Does this all mean that I need a comparability certificate from NARIC, using Blue Route and can Register using below options. I am working as IT consultant: -
