Visa approved (fiance visa) and CFO done (CEBU) :D

, You have to take TOEIC and pass the A1 level requirement using an approved test provider. You are exempted from the English requirement if you had a degree taught in English.

My wife has a degree taught entirely in English but wasn't exempt as UKNARIC doesnt recognise her degree. (University of Perpetual Help - Cavite). From what I gather, UKNARIC recognises only a handful of Philippine universities. And the UKBA go with UKNARIC. Daft eh, but unfortunately true.

Yup I also had a degree taught in English at one of the state University in the Phils but wasn't exempted either.

Was your degree in English and taught in English, by any chance?

My major was accounting (Polytechnic University of the Phils), like your wife I had a degree taught entirely in English. After I graduated, I took a short course, Finishing course for call center agent which I had certificate. But I think the UKNARIC excempt those with qualified degree taught in English.

For future applicants sake I hope they review this approach and take into account that many Filipinos are taught in the medium of English. My wife's nephew is 4 and he is taught in English at his nursery school.

Maybe need a quick conversion course to deal with the americanese

My six year old nephew arrived in UK with an America "twang" at the end of 2010 but within 6 months of attending a British school with British playmates, it had completely gone and he now has an English accent, bless him!
