Hi, Im intending to applying for a spouse visa sometime next month... I am aware of all the requirements and im also aware that it is now required that all spouses show an a1 level of speaking and listening in english.
Below is an excerp from UKBA
2. Meeting the requirement by having a bachelor’s degree qualification
How do I meet the new requirement using my degree taught in English?
The applicant can meet the language requirement if they;
(A) have obtained an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification), which is deemed by UK NARIC (the National Recognition Information Centre for the UK) to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s degree in the UK, from an educational establishment in one of the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda; Australia; the Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Dominica; Grenada; Guyana; Ireland; Jamaica; New Zealand; St Kitts and Nevis; St Lucia; St Vincent and the Grenadines; Trinidad and Tobago; the UK; the USA; and provides the specified documents; or
(B) have obtained an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) which is deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor's degree in the UK, and
(1) provides the specified evidence to show he has the qualification, and
(2) UK NARIC has confirmed that the academic qualification was taught or researched in English, or
(C). have obtained an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) which is deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor's degree in the UK, and provides the specified evidence to show:
(1) s/he has the qualification, and
(2) that the qualification was taught or researched in English
WELL, I HAVE A DEGREE FROM DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY IN CHEMISTRY AND BASED ON WHAT IVE CHECKED, THE QUALIFICATION ITSELF IS RECOGNISED BY UK NARIC... IN PBS CALCULATOR, I GOT 30 POINTS FROM IT, AND ONLY 5 UNIS FROM THE PHILIPPINES ARE RECOGNISED BY UK NARIC. BUT WHEN IT CAME TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BIT, IT WAS NOT RECOGNISED AND GOT 0 POINTS FROM PBS. IN SHORT, THE DEGREE ITSELF IS RECOGNISED BY UK NARIC AS BEING EQUIVALENT TO A UK DEGREE BUT NOT AS BEING TAUGHT IN ENGLISH. HOWEVER, I HAVE A LETTER FROM UNI STATING THAT ALL COURSES ARE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH. DO YOU THINK THIS IS SUFFICIENT? CAN I JUST SHOW MY DEGREE CERTIFICATE AND TRANSCRIPT AS AND LETTER FROM UNI SAYING ENGLISH IS MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN MY UNI?
