Would like to highlight a very frustrating experience..
The entry clearance has been refused as no points were awarded for English Language Area.
The ECO's comments: "You have stated that your degree was taught in English. However, the two certificates you have submitted do not show this. You have not provided any other documents to support your English language ability...."
Complaint #1:
* I had submitted three documents. The original certificate , the original transcript as well the compatibility letter from UK NARIC. I have been given points for Qualification area, the same three documents have been used as the supportive documents.
* Part 6 of Appendix 1: Self Assessment clearly says , in 6.5. that you should hold a degree that was taught in English, that is deemed by UK NARIC to be equivalent to at least a UK Bachelor Degree. As per 6.6 & 6.7 , I had submitted the UK NARIC letter and the original degree certificate and transcript.
What other evidence ECO wants ? is the Appendix 1 not properly designed ?
The original certificate & transcript (from Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta) are in English. Very unlikely that the institute would teach the degree in some other language , but would issue the certificates in English!
Complaint#2 :
The processing time has been 34 working days (I submitted on 29-Oct-2008) and the application was refused on the basis of the lack of documentation submitted ! Now, Do I have to wait for another 28 days under Administrative Review ?
