English Language Dilemma for Spouse Visa

[Oxford]

Hello Everyone,

Can someone please shed some light on the English Language requirement for Spouse Visa.

I have got two master degrees from Nottingham Uni UK and applying for spouse visa very soon.

Well I have checked the English Language Guidance on UKBA website it says that Bachelor, Master and PHd degrees are acceptable for Spouse Visa.

But when i have checked the application form FLR M for spouse visa, it does not have any option for masters or phd degree????


It is very confusing, Can someone clarify this Please????



Thank You

I've resisted offering advice without being able to confirm it's 100% correct.
This is from the FLR(M) guide notes:
If you hold an academic qualification equivalent to
a Bachelor’s degree in the UK which was taught in
English, you will not be required to take the English
Language test.

My understanding is that as a Masters Degree was a late addition to the Spouse entry visa language requirement, it would also stand for FLR(M).

If in doubt consult the rules since they, and not the form or the UKBA website guidance pages are the law. See in particular para 281 (v), which answers your question

Thank You Casa and Greenie....... It is clear now. Can you guys please clarify these questions???

1. My both Master Degrees are from UK, do i still need to get NARIC letter, and i think UK NARIC only checks Bachelor degrees???

2. I am also wondering, how should I fill up the application form FLR (M), Because there is no option for masters degree or Phd??

3. Would it be helpful to explain in a separate covering letter???
