Thanks for the best wishes.

I have provided the following

Accomodation,

My Friends letter on his company letter pad,
his passport copy
his salary slip.

my cousin's letter
His british passport copy.

Financial

3 bank statements of mine abt 10 lakh (10,000 GBP)
Account maintenance letter from respective banks
my car's value assesment and its original docs (5 lakh) 5000 GBP
My mother's letter(on notarized stamp paper ) stating that she will give me 5000 GBP after my EC. and copy of her saving certificates.

Job letter from my current employer
My degrees

And ofcourse my passport.


The questions are just normal, they asked me to bring job search evidence , i showed them the resume confirmation emails and job ads.

They asked me who is Mr x in ur organization, i said the HR manager.

And lastly what would u do if u dont find the job.

And they asked me to convert a binary number into a decimal number ,I think they asked this coz i m in IT field.

They took a look on each of my educational certificate.

Thats all

And quite eager, i think its not at all a problem to transfer the funds in UK.
But havnt thought abt it.

Mohsin best luck for ur interview.

Regards
Rao
