NARIC is mandatory if u dont have UK Degree or B1 CEFR

HI,

My degree was taught in English and from one of the UK university. The qualification can be found in PBS calculator. In this case, may i assume that with the original master degree certificate and the printed PBS be sufficient to proof knowledge of language or i still need other documents?

thanks

Hello,

Any idea how to get a letter from Mumbai University saying the degree subjects were solely taught in English? Can anyone else apply on by behalf for this letter?

Many Thanks,
SNair

I have just received the approval for naturalization for my wife. We only submitted the PBS print out(30 points + 10 points) and the original degree certificate(India). As far as we are concerned there is NO need for ELA from NARIC as the AN guide clearly states print out is sufficient to prove English language requirement. Hope this helps

Hi bsa80,

Can you please let us know which option you selected from points calculator for English Language Requirement? There are currently 5 options as shown below.

How would you like to claim points for English language skills?

1) I am a national from a majority English speaking country
2) I have a qualification comparable to a UK Bachelor degree that was taught in English
3) I have passed an approved English language test
4) I have already proven my English language skills in a previous Tier 1 or HSMP application
5) I do not want to claim points for English language skills (your application will be refused, unless your assessment refers to a settlement application - see Help below)

Hi ather12,

Thanks bsa80.

I try to use option 2 and its coming as (30 +0). zero is for English language.

Does this means that I have to get UK NARIC ELA letter?

Also what documents I need to provide as evidence.

Kind Regards

Hello,
I got a question on PBS.

My wife has a degree certificate, however no letter from university stating it was taught in English. Since it is recognised university, I am thinking of getting a PBS print out.

What option to select in Tier for spouse? Citizenship is not an option in the drop down. Do I just select any of them?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I've got a master degree taught in english and have used it to get my Tier 2, extend it twice and apply for the ILR. But now it seems that one of the requirements of the citizenship application is to provide further evidence that that SAME degree is legit for claiming English language points!! Preposterous!!!

Anyways, here's the gov.uk link (https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english) that refers to the 'printout' from the PBS being a 'legitimate proof' of that qualification.

Is it just me or can nobody access the PBS Calculator from this link anymore?: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator

Let me know if someone tries this out.

Cheerio..!

Response to a PM posted here instead for the benefit of all:

Educate your council's NCS team that the KOLL caseworker guidance explains to the caseworkers that Tier 2 should be selected when checking for "any" applicant's degree in the PBS calculator for English language requirements. So the NCS representative cannot expect you to provide a PBS printout that shows that you have selected Tier 1 (General) - something that doesn't exist in the list anymore. If they do not agree, best that you apply using another council's NCS and avoid the incompetency of the council's NCS members who can't even figure that out despite being (at least) OISC level 1 trained.


Apply some common sense:
1. Whether a degree meets the requirement or not is not dependant on the what category of Tier you choose from the list ... but is dependant on the degree itself! If a Tier 2 migrant fulfills the requirement by virtue of "qualification A from institution B with course length C and year of qualification D", then every migrant irrespective of his / her previous immigration category (PBS or non-PBS, principal or dependant) fulfills the requirement by virtue of having the "same" qualification.

2. Guide AN says that original certificate + printout of PBS showing 10 points is sufficient. Guide AN does not suggest or state that this "condition" is only applicable to PBS migrants or specifically only those PBS migrants belonging to categories mentioned in the drop down list! A spouse of a British citizen, a long residence ILR holder, a refugee ... everyone ..... can use the PBS calculator to check and provide evidence of fulfilling English language requirement by virtue of their degree taught or researched in English - irrespective of whether "their" immigration category is listed in the PBS calculator or not!!!!!!
