for the same period you should submit the corresponding paystubs along with your bank statements...

according to the rules of Tier 1, i dont think that should be a problem...

Rajesh I think thats pretty normal..in the US, people graduate after 1 year of the course completion ... There was a similar post from someone in India that he got his MCA degree like after 2 years.
