English requirements for UK spouse visa

Post by Kif » Sat Aug 02, 2014 10:16 pm

Dear all,

I am a permanent resident in the UK. My wife is applying for her visa now from India. Now, I'm concerned about the English language requirements. She has following documents to prove it;

1. Masters degree certificate and transcript
2. Bachelors degree certificate and transcript
3. Certificate from the university mentioning "degrees taught in English"

Does she need any other documents apart from this, like the UK-NARIC's statement of comparability??

Any suggestions, advices would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Amber

Sorry Amber not questioning your advise but trying to understand the process so mayb I can help others as well.

Like you advised if a degree on PBS scores 20 / English 10 it suffice the B1 requirement.

As per the below mentioned degrees I guess they can score 20+ via PBS, why wouldn't you advise them to show just a PBS print out?

Its just a different way of meeting the requirement, I assumed it doesn't, perhaps the OP hasn't checked? Nonetheless a SoC is no less acceptable than a PBS print out.
