Education:
My wife stated 2 or more degrees, me just one.
Experience:
We applied under relevant NOCs( will not share which ) showing 3+ years experience each. We did not ask current Orgs. to provide us with Ref letters due to obvious reasons.
Intl. trips:
My wife has done one. I've done many.
Finances:
My wife has no loans, I have a home loan + home top-up loan with SBI using overdraft facility called Maxgain. We showed 10 lakhs INR for both of us in a simple saving account of my wife - stamped statement of 6 months from the Bank. Over and above that, we showed both our Pension Funds(PF) as well as investment statements.
LoE:
Despite some posts here suggesting 'do not provide long LoEs and page numbers', we did what was logical in our case and provided an extensive LoE, with page numbers and an Index, as well as Appendices. The main takeaway here is that it should be presented well, explained concisely( 'why' and 'what') and a link further down for lengthy explanations/screenshots/statements.
We mentioned source of funds, including employment, bank statements, explanation for high value transactions as well as Gift agreement, rent deposit returns, etc.
Anything else, ask away!
