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

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

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!!
