Yeah tell me about it. The points-based system is not really used for spouses. But when I was reading about the English competency requirement in the embassy's website (I forgot where exactly now), it gave that link to check if the degree is recognized to be at par with English degrees. I was actually surprised mine wasn't considered given that I haven't heard of any school teaching Computer Science in Filipino!
It's really daft considering we're already paying 810 pounds for the visa fee. I've worked 8 years as a manager in the call center industry talking to yanks. I guess they don't want American English! hehe... My friend who used to certify the people who administer the exams said it's very easy. I have mine scheduled in November. I can take it earlier but still busy turning over my responsibilities at work.
Good luck to you!
