Dependant English requirement

[h200123]

Hi,

I am on Tier 1 and going to apply for ILR soon. I have done MSC from UK so I dont have any problem of English test as its exempt but I am worried about my wife. She has done BSC (Hons) in Computer science from Pakistan. I have tried UKba points calculator but I did not get points for english but do you think I should apply to UK NARIC to compare the degree if that degree is equivalent to UK degree then she does not need english test? Can somebody tell what should I do, thanks

But if the degree is equivalent to UK degree then why points calculator does not give points for english?

Any Guru/Amber can you please explain???

Because it sometimes doesn't, usually because they're not sure if degrees are always taught in English.

If you get 30 points in UKBA calculator then you should be fine. Which university is it? In Lahore or Islamabad?

[h200123]

It is BSc(Hons) Computer Science 4 years from Punjab University Lahore.

Its not about 30 points as its for my wife not for me so she does not need any point..Only the problem that does she need to take an English test or not with that degree?

Yar you should be fine. Don't worry. Get Statement of Comparability from NARIC and letter of medium of instruction from Punjab University. The letter should clearly state that the degree was taught in English. To fulfil English language requirement applicant should have British Bachelor equivalent degree.

Submit these two documents and your wife should be fine. Many people even got ILR without NARIC letter and they just submitted print out from online calculator that shows that degree is giving 30 points.

It doesn't matter if it's you or your wife. You both can show online calculator 30 points to claim English language points.

NOTE: I would advise you to get NARIC letter for the safe side.

If you still have confusion then read ukba official document

OR private message me. I'm also from Lahore.

If UKNaric statement of comparability indicates that the degree is equivalent to UK bachelors degree and you have a letter from University stating that the degree taught in English, then it should be fine. Otherwise she needs to do the English language test.
