Thanks for you help

No need. Bank statement is enough.

I am bit curious , as to someone whos young (24) , with bachelors degree earning £40000 to £49000 back in india.... Which job sector are we talking about ?? IT , Engineering !!! Besides someone who earns £40000 to £49000 back in India , wonder why he wants to come to UK and struggle here , wher...

Tell them it is for a loan.

My plan is to make a minimal application -

Letter from employer with payments made.
Degree certificate
Passport
Bank statements.

That's all I guess.

A 3.2 multiplier would mean that a person with bachelor's degree and under 30 years age would need around 8,50,000 in gross earnings.

Thanks for the update!

Khaled, shouldn't that be 31-Mar-2010 rather than 30-Mar-2010?

I visited their branch and they issue me another statement, the format of which is pathetic (Print out getting out of page area, No A/c No. & name on each page of statement) and worst is they informed this is the best they can do. Kudos to ICICI Bank. ANyways I contacted customer care and reque...

I have no previous work-ex in UK. But I am a very good Java programmer and am highly skilled with algorithms, multi threading etc. Have around 4 years of work-ex. Have a pretty good background of Spring, Hibernate, JSF and other JavaEE tech as well. Most people from work know me as a super geek. No ...

Same case for me too. ICICI gave a print on dot matrix. No logo. Stamped on each page. They say this is the best they can do at the branch I went to.

I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere but I'm not sure: Are any photo copies of the originals - (Passport, letter from employer, degree certificate, stamped bank statements) needed to be submitted?

I am pretty nervous about the Dot Matrix print outs my banks gives as account statements. But I seem to have no other option. The print out will not have a logo on it but it will have a stamp on each page. I hope they don't expect dot matrix prints to have a logo other than that stamp. My understand...

The VAF9 on the Visa services site for me (Applying from India - first time), is just 7 pages.

I hope I'm not going wrong. Is there something I am missing?

The visa services site says white background.

Good luck!

Was it just those two 7 page forms that you filled?

No 75 page form like the applying from within UK applicants?

What was the background color for the photos you submitted?

For a person applying from outside the UK for the initial tier 1 visa, the Visa services website does not have the new form.

Heck, even the points based calculator is not updated.

This is nuts! How am I to apply?

I don't seem to be able to find the form with this fee on the visa services website. Is the initial application form for a person applying from India available yet? (for post April 6 application) I do see that the application form to be used for applying from within UK is present - but I can't use t...

The visa services site seems to say white background is needed. The photograph guidance on ukba says cream/light gray background and that "...please ensure that they are aware of the format requirements specified in this guidance, particularly that the photographs will not show a white backgrou...

For Tier 1 - Initial application from India, what will be the new fee after April 6?

I thought I saw someone mention 675 pounds. But the new form seems to indicate 840 pounds. Which is it?

I going to apply for Initial Leave to Remain - Tier 1 General. 1. If my degree shows up in the points based calculator and I am providing the original degree certificate then I do not need to provide any proof for English language requirement. Is the above correct? Or is a letter from the college/NA...
