[aspirant99]

Hi,

I would first & foremost like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone on this forum for helping me out to file my Tier-1 visa which I have finally got stamoed now. Especially i would to thank vks(for instilling the confidence in me that i do not need a consultant to file my visa and spend 60k unnecessarily as this forum dhould be enough).He was absolutely correct. Also i thank aruni, chetan, sushdmehta, aditya and everone else who helped me with my queries.

Spare me for the Oscar ceremony speech above!!

Below are my timelines:

Application submitted at VFS delhi:14/06/10
Application forwarded to BHC:14/06/10
Application under process:19/06/10
Passport ready for collection:01/07/10

Visa Stamped and valid from: 30/06/10 to 30/06/12

My case was as follows:

1) Age : 20 points--Passport as evidence

2) Education: 30 points(Bachelors degree)--Original degree certificate as evidence

Catch: My original degree duration was 2000-2004 but due personal reasons i completed the degree in 2005
I mentioned the degree as 4 or less than 5 yrs in the PBS calculator and in the appendix i filled the duration of study as 15/07/2000-14/03/2005

3) Earnings: 25 points

1) Employer 1(June'09- March'10): Salary slips & bank statements, F&F letter & letter from the company stating that the F&F was paid in the form of cheque. Follwing was the verbatim of the cheque:
“ Mr XXX was a full-time employee in <comapny name> from <start date> to <last day>. His last working day was <last working day>, therefore his salary for <month> including all pending allowances i.e Rs (F&F amount> waspaid in his Full & Final settlement in the form of a Cheque(cheque no> payable to his
accountâ€

congrats aspirant - on your visa AND your 100th post!

Did you receive a PF settlement (apart from or as part of your full & final settlement from you first employer) that you showed as previous earnings? I am in a situation wherein I am not very sure whether my Provident Fund settlement would be considered as part of my previous 'earnings'.

cheers

Hi aspirant99 ...Congrats!!!

Wanted to know if you could share our cover letter (or any other supporting letters...would be a great help!)

Sure ..following are the cover letters /FD formats that i used:

Cover letter--Chetanojha's format
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=46010

FD--Suresh.K's format
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=53751

For the F&F cheque letter from employer I used the format that i have mentioned in the OP.

You can use the above formats and modify it to suit your case...good luck!!
