Quote from the letter...

Please submit a letter from UK NARIC confirming your degree to meet the recognised standard of Bachelor's or Master's degree or PhD in the UK.

so I assume I don't have to send the English Language Assessment because thats a separate service and takes 10-15 working days.

I called home office today and told them them that my degree is already recognised on the points based calculator and that I get 30 points for degree and 10 points for English language .

Thanks cs95tdg. I delayed my application due to absence as my employer refused to provide me with letters for the same. My total days of absence are 301 days ( 210 days @ offshore + 91 days paid vacation) However, when i split it across 5 consecutive 12 month periods for any date in Jan 2013 or Feb ...

I went through the new guidance several times and this is what I could make out of it... Year 0: April 2007- Jan 2008 = 39 days absence [ignore] Year 1 : Jan 2008 - Jan 2009 = 34 days absence < 180 days Year 2: Jan 2009 - Jan 2010 = 74 days absence < 180 days Year 3: Jan 2010 - Jan 2011 = 127 days ...

I am planning to apply in Jan 2013. The new guidance states that

Absences in excess of 180 days in any 12 month period for employment or economic activity reasons are not considered exceptional.

Does this mean I am not eligible for ILR now?

Congrats!!!! to C80.. Did they give you a separate address? what time of the day did you call. Even I have the charging units phone no. but they told me that I can send my application, but my application may or may not be considered under the old rules and this solely depends on the case worker. So ...

Actually today when I called up home office, they asked me are you the one who send an email complaint yesterday. I was quite shocked to hear it... also felt happy that my one email has made an impact. So today I send a formal complaint, with form downloaded from UKBA site, attached all evidence ...

if you re-send your application it will be treated as fresh application. and your application can be returned as invalid. The letter that I received from home office said the same. you should give home office a chance to rectify their mistake. they have a complaints department where you can report ...
