Hi Friends,

I'll be applying for naturalisation in Jan 2014.
I need your advice on the KOL.
I have a degree in Engineering from Indian University. Is it sufficient to satisfy the condition as per the below,

The following groups are considered automatically to meet the English language component of the KoLL requirement and will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification:

• Nationals of majority English speaking countries (Annex A).
• Those who have obtained a degree taught in English


1) Do I need to obtain UK NARIC Statement of Comparability? if yes, can you please advice what information and documentation do I need to submit to UK NARIC.

2) Also do I need to take ESOL citizenship tests along with the above? which is the best, easy and quick test that will satisfy the criteria of Home Office?

3) If I have to fulfil one of the above points 1 or 2, can you please advice the earliest possible solution.

Since I have already passed the Life in UK test for my ILR, I suppose I dont have to retake it. correct?
For your information, I obtained my ILR on the basis of my work permit.

Its a wrong section of the forum to ask about naturalization application.you need to post it in British citizenship section.

If your degree was taught in English medium throughout and if it is assessed as equivalent to the UK undergraduate degree by NARIC then you don't need to take the B1 test and also you don't need to take ESOL as you have already passed LIUK test but wait for the experts to help you out with this bit of your query.
