Now that she is here, she hasn't been able to obtain work anyway because of the strict Isle of Man regulations on work permits. And now she is a mother. Hopefully we might get in touch with UK NARIC again when the baby is older but I am not holding out much hope for their approval on her degree certification as a meaningful equivalent of a UK degree course.
It is indeed heartbreaking (same as mine) that our degree obtain in the Phils. is not recognise or not equivalent to degree here in the Uk .

But, it might be helpful and useful to someone, who wants to further their studies here in the UK or for visa purposes.
