Nop i didn't attach even a penny with my application form but, my Bank statement in $ account
The supporting thing with me (i think) is my professional experience with proofs. i.e. 15 years exp at the age of 37. My competency in my field as i am working as Resident Editor now.
Besides, My savings which helped me to start a business in partnership. This
business and my
professional job together helped me to visit about 13 European countries in last 3 years. I already have 2 years multiple UK visa stamped on my passport valid till Aug 2006.
I manage all my data in 9 categories and placed all my relevant documents under these categories. Provided more proofs than they are demanding in all categories. eg: I provided these documents in income category:
1= Job letter mentioning pay and other terms and conditions
2= Letter from Employer confirming 1 year salary
3= Bank statement where pay is recieved (Personal F.C account)
4= Letter from bank manager showing good financial record of my business account.
5= Income tax papers of last three years
6= Papers of property and other assets and their valuation reports (in support of my earnings and savings) and ofcourse my passport shows my travelling.
AND I think one more thing supported me i.e. partner's education and achievement. My wife is masters in Fine Arts with distinction, having 7 years teaching experience to O & A level with reputable educational institutions.
