Naturalisation (English Requirement)

[grkumar]

Hi,

I would want to apply for naturalisation and request some advise on English requirement.

I hold bachelors degree from India that which was taught in English. A friend of mine says that I can obtain Statement of comparability from UKNARIC to show English requirement. Also, I heard from different sources that I also need to obtain English Language Assessment from UKNARIC to show the English requirement.

Now my question is do I have to obtain both (Statement of Comparability and English Language Assessment) to show my English requirement or any one do. Please advise it so that I can order one today.

Also, please advise on a referee that a friend of mine who is working in a store as a manager for a Ltd company can give his referee?

Thank you very much for you advise.

See page 36

An English Language Assessment (ELA) from UK NARIC, which will confirm that the degree was taught in English. UK NARIC will only issue an ELA where they are satisfied that the qualification is comparable to a UK Bachelor’s degree.

Or

A Statement of Comparability (SoC) from UK NARIC confirming the qualification is equivalent to a UK qualification . They must also provide an original letter from the university or awarding institution on official headed paper, confirming the applicant’s name, the title of the degree, and that the qualification was taught in English.

First check the Points Based Calculator, you need 20 points for the degree AND 10 points for English. You can just print that out and submit it instead, it'll save the cost of NARIC.

Just write "Manager of Ltd Company" as profession on the form, it's fine.
