Proficiency in English: 10 points

I possess good speaking, writing, reading and listening skills in English. Language will not be a
barrier to me, after I relocate to the U.K. To support my claim, I have enclosed self assessment
summary (point based calculator), my original Degree Certificate from the University where I
have studied my graduation.

As per the guidelines, an applicant who is traveling to the UK under Tier 1 (General) Migrant visa
must demonstrate the availability of maintenance funding to the tune of £ 2800 for the last 3
months prior to the submission of application. Hence, as per the maintenance fund criteria, I
understood that I have to show a total INR 2, 04, 094 considering a Standard Exchange Rate @
72.89083 I will fund all the expenses associated with this trip by myself. I have been maintaining
a minimum amount of INR 2, 81, 301 or GBP 3, 859 in the form of liquid cash in my savings
account for the purpose of my visa which will be sufficient to accommodate me till the time I find
a suitable job. Please find below the details of my current financial status:

Total amount taken into

consideration
Development Credit Bank 07211700002028 2, 81, 301 03.12.2008

Please note that as per the confirmation by visa authority (query section) towards the
maintenance fund criteria, I have enclosed my bank statement till date (within seven days)
prior to submission of my application for your reference.

Note: I had been maintaining my maintenance funds in my Salary Account i.e. Saving Account
with the Development Credit Bank for over three months period.

Accommodation Arrangements

At the moment, I have not made any arrangements as once I get visa, I need to submit resignation
/ serve notice period to my Company and it will take some time for final settlement with the
Company. So once all these are cleared, I will arrange for the accommodation in a Hotel on a
temporary basis in UK. Later I plan to look for a more suitable accommodation, once I settle down
in the UK. That would be in the close vicinity of my place of employment.
