[ireallywish09]

HI all,

First of all, thanks to all of you. Your valuable suggestions are very helpful for turning an application into a VISA.My case was'nt really straight forward and also once before my TIER 1 application was rejected as well due to the absence of a supporting document. But thankfully this time, i was better prepared with the help i got from this site.
I have mentioned my entire case summary below so that anyone with similar details can find it helpful.....

Hi,
It will be useful for other if you could post what was tricky in your application. from the info u've given it looks straight forward to me.

HI,

I thought the following points were not straight forward..

1). For 2 months, the amount in salary slips, and the salary credited in bank statements did not match and differed by as much as Rs.30,000 each time. I mentioned this in cover letter but i had seen cases in past couple of months where the application was rejected due to absence of corroborative evidence for previous earnings.

2). TIER 1 application had been rejected once with the reason as proof submitted for maintenance fund being unappropriate and also a mention that 'Your application has also been considered for General Grounds of refusal'

Though the rest of teh part was straight forward, these 2 points might have formed the basis of rejection as i have seen for certain other applicants as well.
