Letter of reference from my University?

Post by Edo » Sat Jun 13, 2009 3:08 pm

Hi, I'm going for an in-person appointment to UKBA soon to apply for Tier 1 (General). I have all the evidences with me along with original MSc degree and transcript. I just wanted to know if its still important to produce a letter from the University that confirms my study period etc?

(PS: I'm currently on PSW so UKBA must have the records of my education on their system)

Any help with my query will be thankfully received.

You do not need it - does your course duration fall within the 12 consecuting months you are using for claiming oints for earnings?

No, my course hasnt got anything to do with my salary. My MSc degree as issued in 2007 and yes, I have been in my current job for the last 1 & a half year. I was just generally asking if I have to have a letter from uni in addition to degree and transcript?

You are working "after" your degree completed. You do not need letter from University. You are good to go. Hope your college is not from the one which are under HO radar.

Technically You dont need a letter from university,
But
To be on safeside there is no harm to attach a letter, It will also save you if ur applicaton is being dealt by an Ocword and ignorant caseworker

Apply with your current Degree and you should be fine.

Thanks. I am going to take my undergrad and postgrad degrees (both from UK) with me and I think the caseworker has to be really stupid to doubt them.
