My wife and I are going to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain SET(LR) this month.
There is a question in the form regarding "English Language Requirement" as follows:
"Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English?"
- I came to this country to get my PhD with Tier 4. However, I do not recall whether proving proficiency in English language was a requirement although I took IELTS as it was a requirement for my admission and I submitted its result with my visa application anyway.
- Four years ago, I switched to Tier 2 visa and think proving English was a requirement. As I had just finished my PhD despite having few months to the graduation ceremony, I got an official letter from my University and submitted with my application informing UKVI that I had finished my PhD and would get my degree in a few months.
"Do you have a degree equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree which was taught in English?
If you have a research degree, your research must have been done in English."
I can upload my PhD degree as the evidence.
My question is whether I need to answer this question "Yes" based on my Tier 2 or I should select "No" and upload my PhD degree with the other documents.
Thanks in advance for your time and contribution.
