need help in various aspects of Tier 1

[theimmigrant]

I am going to apply for tier 1 on 11th of january 2009. I need to get the lit of forms to be filled and list of documents to be sent. Also, I need a bit of guidance regarding tier 1 process. Is it the same as hsmp where a letter comes first and then u send it for visa? Can any one help me plz?

I need to get everything ready before that date. Currently im waiting for 3 months for maintaince funds.

I have a few questions to be answered.

1) Do i need to submit tax returns or just payslips?
2) I need to show that i have done a project free lance. Would the company invoice be enough to show this?>
3) All the docs needed to be submitted in original?
4) I maintain two accounts. 1 for my salary and 1 for my funds. Is it going to be OK?
5) Should i send the bank statement in pak rupees or they must be in GBP? Both accounts I have are of different currency that GBP

>> 1) Do i need to submit tax returns or just payslips?
Payslips is enough, for another source of income you have to show bank statements though

>> 2) I need to show that i have done a project free lance. Would the company invoice be enough to show this?>
May be somebody else can answer this, I don't have knowledge on it

>> 3) All the docs needed to be submitted in original?
Absolutely yes, all original to BHC, and a full photocopy of all for Integra, on the whole one original set and one photocopy set of documents have to submitted at VFS

>> 4) I maintain two accounts. 1 for my salary and 1 for my funds. Is it going to be OK?
It is OK, as far as your funds are really in cash, and you can show them to be from salary or your freelancing with valid proofs

>> 5) Should i send the bank statement in pak rupees or they must be in GBP? Both accounts I have are of different currency that GBP
Pak rupees is fine, but the conversion rate looked at by BHC is the statement last day conversion rate as in OANDA
