URGENT -English Language Evidence Requirement Clarification

Hello,

I am going for joint BC and passport application through NCS tomorrow. I got ILR on 23.11.2015.

While filling AN1 form:

- I have provided Life in the UK test number and
- ticked the box which says I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;

Now my question is on which documents do I need to provide. I have life in the UK pass certification, but I used point calculator to demonstrate my degree meets requirements at time of ILR. Do I need to take printout of calculator with me again?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Sail

If you met the requirement for ILR you don't need to resubmit. The guidance notes are clear on this. You should submit LIUK test letter though.

HO can ask for proof of English if they wish to, so bear that in mind.

Also, try and be patient, we work and have families and offer our time for free on the forum so bumping a topic after 1 hour 19 minutes is a bit off putting.

Thank you so much. Appreciate your help and pointed noted ( and agreed) re. being impatient.

Just to confirm, I used point calculator to demonstrate that my INDIAN degree meets criteria at time of ILR. Hope that doesn't change anything and I can still rely on that.

Thanks

PBS Calculator is no longer accepted.

If HO asks (after you have applied) for evidence, you will have to submit a NARIC ELA or B1 English test.

Are you applying through NCS or posting it yourself?

A lack of planning is not anyone else's emergency.

Bearing that in mind, am always impressed by members who step forward.
Imagine how much a professional would charge you for a 1-hour SLA.

Hi,

Take your degree with you as NCS will take a copy of it and attach with application. For my application, NCS didn't take the copy and I ticked the same option in form as you have done. My friend submitted his application and NCS took copy of his degree and he recently got the approval as well so for sure this option works :)
