I am an Indian national and planning to apply for UK Tier 1 General visa, thus, getting ready with the documents and knowing the applying process. I have been in continuous touch with websites providing information related to UK immigration using Tier 1 General visa including the UK government websites. I am very much clear with so many things but still when I see the post here in immigrationboards my mind get full with question.
I used the point based calculator given in http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator to know my eligibility and according to that I am eligible to apply for visa. As the process of applying seems so simple I decided not to go with the agents and pay them huge money and do it self. So, below I am listing the stuff that I understood and is required to apply for the visa. Please also reply for the inline queries in bold the below points:
1) We need to fill two forms:
a) VAF9 (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... 03073/vaf9) b) Appendix 1 (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... sappendix1)
2) I will submit my original passport which will work as my age proof.
3) I can submit the online taken bank stmt showing clearly the last three months transaction to fulfill the fund requirement test. That statement must have a bank stamp and authorised person signature stating that this document is true.
4) I will submit only my university degree in orginal as a proof of education qualification. There is no need to submit the semester markesheets.
5) As my degree is of 4 years and is completely taught in english, even while checking my eligibility using the point based calculator, I found my university name there which means I need not to get my degree compatibility checked with UK education system through NARIC. As my university name is present in the point based calculator, I can claim point for english language requirement as well thus I need not to submit any sort of proof like IELTS score, a letter from college or university for subjects taught in english.
6) For past earnings proofs, I will submit following documents:
a) All 12 months salary slip on company letter head with stamp and signature.
b) A bank account statement which shows my salary was credited in the account.
I have few questions on this:
a) The bank statement must clearly show all transaction done for last 12 months or should i only take print of those transaction which show the salary is credited. If i take complete 12 month transaction statement the it will have huge number of paper.
b) Regarding the Gross and Net salary:
My Salary slip Earnings and deduction column:
In Earnings column we have followings:
BASIC, House Rent allowance, Conveyance Allowance, FBP, Medical, Other(Deputation allowance)
and In deducation we have: Tax deducation, Provident fund, Food coupans.
so lets say if below is my salary slip:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INCOME DEDUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC 25000.00 PF 3000.00 Â
HRA 10000.00 INCOME TAX 604.00 Â
CONVEYANCE 800.00 FOOD COUPON 1100.00 Â
FBP 10500.00 Â
MEDICAL 1250.00 Â
OTHER ALLOW 1818.00 Â
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Earnings: Rs. 49368.00 Total Deductions: Rs. 4704.00
Net Pay : 44664.00Â
Here what will be my gross salary and net salary?
7) I have read so many post and those confused me, so kindly answer these questions as well.
a) Do we need to submit our experience certificate in original of all the employers whom I worked for. I cannot see any such requirement in the help guide of UK immigration.
As I studied in XYZ college and the college is affiliated to ABC university whose name exists in the point based calculator so while filling the form appendix 1, in the institution name should I put ABC or XYZ.9) In the appendix form 1 in the past earnings can i specify the figures in indian rupees and what to write in the evidence of earnings provided.
10) In earning proofs, incuding the salary slip and bank statement do I need to submit the Form16 and Income tax department acknowledgement slip as well.
10) I am an indian national so I need to go for a TB checkup.
11) Do we have to submit any good health related document.
12) Do we need to submit any certificate from police as well for entry clerance.
13) I guess vaf9 form is an entry clearance form, if not kindly tell me where can i get it when exactly is it submitted.
14) We need to got bio metric stuff.
Hope to get favorable response
I hope to receive an answer to my earlier question in this post.
