Tier 1 - Extension Query

[confused456]

Hi Friends,

I have been following this board for quite long as a silent observer, this board is really helpful.

About one question, I am not able to find an answer on this board. Kindly if someone can help?
i.e.

I did b.sc in electrical engineering from university of engineering and technology lahore. I didnt get / attached uk naric equivalent certificate with my application but still I got the visa.

Now PBC is not showing points for my engineering from uet although my univ is listed.
1) Do I need to get the uk naric certificate?
2) is there a possibility that uk naric has degraded the level of my univ?
3) some people i saw on this board got the uk naric with uet lahore degree, but some didnt. why there is difference ?

I want to apply for extension and I am really confused due to the above mentioned.

Thanks

You don't have to get the NARIC equivalence. You will get exactly the same point as you have got on your initial application (I am assuming your initial leave was on Electrical engineering degree).

yes, my initial leave was based on bsc electrical engineering.

In the extension form, I dont know what to write for "H2", ?

H2. Please indicate your method of verifying your qualification:
Qualification recognised on the points based calculator
Qualification not on the points based calculator, but a UK NARIC letter and/or certificate
is enclosed
Qualification not on the points based calculator, but a UK NARIC letter and/or certificate
was provided with the applicant’s initial Tier 1 (General) application.
Qualification not on the points based calculator, but a letter stating the UK academic
equivalence from the relevant United Kingdom professional body is enclosed

your initial Tier 1 (General) application.

have you seen this?

HSMP extension applications

A very small number of people in the UK under Tier 1 (General) or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme may have a qualification which has previously been assessed to be of a higher level than shown by the points-based calculator. These people may claim the higher points score, in line with the previous assessment. Appendix A of the Immigration Rules, which you can find on the right side of this page, contains more details.

If you are not sure what points you were previously awarded, you should email us at wpcustomers@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.

In these cases, we will refer to our records. We will only be able to award a higher points score in very limited circumstances that meet all of the following requirements:

you are currently in the UK under Tier 1 (General) or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme;
you are relying on the same qualification for which we previously awarded points in this area;
the earlier assessment of the qualification confirmed that it was equivalent to a higher level of qualification than is now shown by the points-based calculator; and
there is no evidence that you used deception to obtain the earlier decision.

thanks
but yes, I have seen this

I still dont know which option to choose in H2

I am assuming I should choose degree recognised in point based calculator ... as I can see my university name though no points awarded

am i correct in thinking like this?

You could answer that and also take a print out of the page which ban.s was quoting from (it's on the UKBA website).
