Adding to what 'Just Wondering' pointed out in the last sentence "...some degrees have been taken off of the PBS Calculator wtr to awarding English language points so it's best to provide the evidence that your degree does qualify."...
My wife and I passed out of the same university although in different years. When I successfully applied for ILR in Sep 2013, I submitted the PBS calculator print that showed 10 points for english language recognising that degree and the university.
My wife was on Tier 1 Dep when I applied ILR so she did not apply. Now when her Tier 1 Dep. expires in April, I have scheduled, an in person appointment using the FLR (M) form (Tier 1 dep. to ILR Dep. ).
When I collating proofs today, we realised, the same university is showing 0 points for english in the PBS calculator. Something I didn't see coming! I think, I have 2 options, 1. Chase NARIC or 2. Give the relevant English test.
I'd like to seek your inputs on which option is the best... the visa expires on 8 April 2014. I've scheduled the in person appointment on 11 March. I guess, I have to reschedule it but I'd like to know, particularly, which of the english exams is easier and more importantly sends me the results in 2-3 weeks. (I guess it takes the same time for NARIC respond and there is a good chance that NARIC might say the same what PBS shows,,although it baffles me how they discretely removed the degree/university in 4 months!)
