Hello,

to clear some points

1- About Family:
Q: What is your father's annual income?
(My father will help me only with the bank account to get funded, but I will pay my tuition fees myself from my earnings, my father will deposit almost 13000-15000$ for me, so what's the minimum income that I should reveal? Do I need to provide a letter proving my father's annual income?)

2- SPONSOR AND FINANCIAL DETAILS
Q: Who is paying for your education and what is his/her income?
(Me will pay for education, I earn 900$/month, what is the minimum should I reveal? is 900$ enough? or I should reveal more income? Do I need to provide a letter of my income as well?)

3- FUTURE PLANS (CAREER PROSPECTS)
Q: How much money can you earn after your completion of studies?
(As I said, I earn from my job 900$ at the moment, so what will be the future minimum money will be earned to be revealed? also requires a letter?)

Thank you very much,
