FORM AN - Section 1.22 - Knowledge of language
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 8:45 pm
Hi All,
I require some assistance here filling the form AN. I got my ILR in May 2012 and now I am planning to apply for naturalisation as a British citizen. I am looking at what to tick in the section 1.22 Knowledge of language / life in the UK.
The application is bit confusing. I am looking for some guidance on what to tick. I have already passed the Life In the UK test while taking the ILR and I have both the certificate and the test number hence I will be ticking the first point
✔ I have passed the Life in the UK test and attach confirmation
So for so good. But to meet the English criteria, I have NARIC certificate stating that my degree in India is equal to UK degree, and I have letter from the University stating the the entire course was taught in English and also I could potentially use the Point Based System print out claiming 30 points under qualification and 10 points for the knowledge of English.
Please let me know what option should I choose under the following in the form
a) If I am using my NARIC Certificate & letter from the University and
b) If I am using the PBS print out
✔ I have a speaking and listening qualification in English at B1 CEFR or higher, or an equivalent level qualification; OR
✔ 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; or
(ii) the qualification was taught or researched in the UK or a majority English speaking country
(other than Canada); OR
✔ I am a national of a majority English speaking country; OR
✔ I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;
OR
✔ I wish to claim exemption on the basis of my physical or mental condition (physical and/or mental illness
may not lead automatically to exemption. You should provide reasons on page 15. Your application may fail
and the fee retained if insufficient reasons for exemption are provided).[/color]
