Hi marupa,

I have just applied for EC on 12th Nov in Mumbai. I think you have pretty everything covered up. If you can give a covering letter, that will an added benefit. From which city will you be applying ? Also, make sure that you are carrying photocopies of all your current and past employment letters, all educational certificates, copies of Integra form as all these will be required for Integra verification purpose. I did not carry them ad had to spend almost half an hour at VFS getting copies of all these documents.

Oh and also a copy of ur VAF2 Form also.

Hope this helps.


Regards,

pdeshpande

The very first instruction on VAF2 is to fill the application in balck or blue ink. So filling it with a pen should be fine.
