English Language Requirements - FLR (M)

[sankyb84]

All

Apologies if this has been discussed and confirmed in another thread (I went through some and couldn't find something very direct and specific)

Can you please advise what is required exactly to be produced in relation to my wife applying for extension to stay as dependent spouse (I was in 5 yr Tier 1 --> ILR --> Naturalized citizen)

In her first application (July 2014), she had been able to obtain a NARIC certificate that confirmed her degree was taught in English and that if was equivalent to CEFR C1 category.

Can anyone please confirm that she is no longer able to use the same Degree certificate + NARIC certificate for her extension next year? Does she need to re-apply for another NARIC certificate?

Appreciate the response
Sankyb

Apologies again if this was already clarified elsewhere!

If she is a tier 1 dependent, why is she switching to flr (m)?

Hi CR001

When she applied for her visa to come to UK, I was in my ILR so she has always been a spouse dependent

Hello all / CR001

Can you please help with the below query? I read on the following link that my wife in order to apply for an extension can either take a test or can get a NARIC certificate. Can you please advise if this understanding is correct?

Please let me know if we can re-apply for the NARIC certificate and use that for FLR (M) application

She can use NARIC, but she needs the UKVI NARIC ELA.

Hi CR001

Sorry for bothering you with this - on the UK NARIC request for the Visa and Nationality service they are now asking for a letter from the University confirming the college my wife studied at is taught in English!!

She currently has a letter from the College stating her degree was taught in English (the Degree certificate does not have the college name in it) - which UK NARIC are not trying to link

If I am unable to get the additional documents over to them, can you please advise if my wife can book the below test to meet her english requirements for FLR(m) application?

IELTS A1 Life Skills

She can book the test at an HO approved centre instead.

Thanks CR001

Yes I see that she can book a listening and speaking test for GESE Grade A2 at Trinity College immediately so I will go for that

Its also interesting to note that for Spouse extension they are only asking for listening and speaking test rather than the whole test

Let me know if you disagree with anything (but as always thanks for your help!!)
