Depends if you are married to a BC.

Scanning through your previous posts, you appear to be married to an EU citizen.

Therefore you will have to wait the full 12 months on PR before you can apply for citizenship.

I can't find anything specifically about the PgDip on the government website but given that it is a qualification at NVQ L7 and thus higher than a Bachelor's degree (NVQ L6) which they accept, it may be accepted.

You may want to wait for confirmation from senior members/moderators though as I am not a 100% sure

Hi Thanks for clarifying that gives me more time to pass the life in uk test (history bit and remmbering the dates is not my thing)

and don't forget the Level B1 English requirement.

Only a degree (BSc, BA, MSc, etc) is acceptable for the English requirement.

Hi thanks for that as its a uk qualification do i need to attach it with neutralization application or get a letter confirming it was taught in English and all that?

- page 33 & 36 may float your boat as it refers to diplomas.

Note dependency on degree-level entry prerequisites to the diploma.

i just got off the phone from home office they said they will accept my Post Graduate diploma.

Even though a PgDip is just an intermediate award, it is still a degree so it makes sense that they accept it.

Thanks,

all we need to do is goto the calculator and print out the points it allocates you. i think Mods should clarify this for others

Hi all,

Just wanted to confirm that HO accepts pg diplomas as proof of English, I sent my diploma and they accepted it as a proof.

Thanks hunpak for sharing your experience. This is very comforting to know as I am applying for settlement for my wife based on PGDip. Fingers crossed!

point based calculator has been taken off for some time I believe. I don't know if you have been looking at some official website or not.

It was available when I made the application and tbh this was only for reference. I have now British passport few less headaches in life.
