Tick the box that "I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013" and also send the PBS print out with degree certificate.sensekm wrote:Hi,
I obtained my ILR in Jan 2015 and planning to apply Naturalization in Jan 2016. Due to the recent change in English language requirement, its not very clear whether PBS is acceptable anymore. When contacted Home office help line was advised to get UKNARIC letter to meet that my degree (studied outside UK) is equivalent to UK degree and taught in English.
When informed AN Guidance document still referring to PBS as acceptable, I was told since there is no option in the application form to choose PBS as acceptable evidence, advised to submit covering letter referring the guidance document along with PBS print out and the outcome will be decided by case worker.
I don't want to take risk and lose the entire application fee, so planning to choose other option which is 'I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013'.
As part of my ILR application, I submitted PBS printout and degree certificate to satisfy English language requirement. My query is can I choose option ''I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013' or this this is valid only for people who had taken language test in the home office approved Centre.
If I choose above option, do I still need to submit PBS printout and degree certificate.
Thanks,
sensekm
Thanks for confirmation On a lighter note, I would personally ask for some confirmation from official document(s)/link(s) for any advice given.fbutt50 wrote:Slolospy is right do as he says.
Even SET(O) doesn't have any such.sensekm wrote:I was told since there is no option in the application form to choose PBS as acceptable evidence,

What do you suggest in my case, should I do as solospy said choose option
''I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013"
and send the PBS printout with copy of degree certificate.
(OR) choose option
I have obtained an academic qualification deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the United Kingdom and:
i. UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English;
and send PBS printout with copy of degree certificate.
What is your suggestion? Please advice.
Thanks,
