Do I need to apply to Ecctis again for ILR?

[SudhakarGanta]

Hi team,
I used Ecctis to meet the English language requirement for my Global Talent visa. I'm now applying for ILR but no longer have the Ecctis certificate or reference number.

Do I need to apply to Ecctis again, or can I proceed without it since it was accepted previously?

Thanks for any advice!

If you satisfied the requirement by providing the evidence before, you do not need to send it again.

Evidence from NARIC
An applicant must provide an AQUALS or a statement of comparability from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) confirming the qualification is equivalent to a UK qualification. Where the qualification was obtained in a non-majority English-speaking country, an ELPS or an English language assessment (ELA) is also required.

However, you do not need to see additional confirmation from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) where the:

• Home Office have previously accepted a degree qualification as meeting the requirements for an earlier application, and leave was granted
• degree was awarded by a UK university

If the qualification has not previously been used for an immigration application, or the previous application was refused, the applicant must obtain confirmation from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) that it meets the relevant criteria.

Thanks for the clarification.
Have a good weekend!

I’m in the process of applying for ILR. I have all the required documents except the English qualification document, so I opted for the Ecctis certificate verification. It’s currently in progress, but I’ve hit a roadblock.

I wanted to know if anyone has dealt with Ecctis (UK) sending a verification request to their university, but the university couldn’t trace the email? In my case, it’s the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras). Ecctis told me they sent the verification request two days ago, but they won’t disclose the exact email address it went to. Since IITM is such a large institute with multiple offices and departments, it’s been really hard to figure out who actually received it.

I’m on a tight deadline and really need this sorted quickly. If anyone has been through this before, how did you find out which department in IITM (or which email) Ecctis contacted? Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you
Best regards,
Sudhakar

How do you expect anyone to know the details of an administrative process within a third party like Ecctis, here ?? This is not an immigration related query.

You previously claimed you already have satisfied the requirements
