My wife was rejected because she didn't do the English test. She submitted a BA degree certificate with no Naric statement. After being rejected she passed the English language tests.

We also got a Naric statement for the BA degree but it says it is only equivalent to GCE Advanced.

Hearing is in 3 weeks. I shall be sending in my documents next week. What are my chances? My solicitor is 100% convinced she will be rejected.
Yes BA is not equivalent to Any English language course Because they accept Honours. that's why i also think ba degree doesn't work

Ok, I understand that but what are the chances of the appeal being successful? Will the judge say she's done the English test so just give the visa or will he say she did the English test late and still reject?

I Also did bsc but its not bsc honour so i asked my solicitor she straightaway told me they reject ur visa so i did IELTS so i dont think so judge accept ba degree. there are lots of courses in pakistan and u can get these with less effort just within couple of days. so never take risk otherwise its gonna be long long wait then

The judge could rule either way, it depends on how he will categorise the new evidence, is it supporting evidence or is it new evidence, the likely case is he'll deem it as new evidence and if that is what happens, then it's very difficult to see how it'll be overturned.

If you done BA in English then you may say to judge it was English degree and I thought I wouldn't need another certificate, Play innocent and he may do you a favour. Pray to Allah and good luck.

Thank you very much for your words guys. I was very depressed after meeting with my solicitor because he was trying to convince me not to even go to court. He wanted me to drop the case.

Your messages have given me hope. I will do as Nuaman advised, explain I was naive and made a mistake in assuming her BA would be valid. Until then all I can do I pray and make Dua Allah ends all of our struggles.
