Thank you Dr.Hasib and Shijoal. So kind of you to respond instantly.
I wonder if I can really go by the figure they have posted in their website, as I find it hard to believe that only 5 applications would have been rcvd in my category. More so only 52 applications in a category as popular as 1122. In any case, I guess thats all we have to refer. My IELTS test has been postponed to 13 Aug now. Just got a call from the Institute. So I can apply only is the beginning of September I guess. Dont know if I will make it within cap.
Shijoal - I was told by my consultant that it is not required to send the transcripts in sealed envelopes while applying from New Delhi. Do you suppose I can trust his word?
Also we got married in a temple, so I have just a letter (in regional language) as a proof of marriage. Do you think, if I translate this to english and get it notorised, it will serve the purpose of a marriage certificate? Or do we necessarily have to get registered in the court of law?
Another query is, can I show my spouse's bank statement for proof of funds?

since you have more time to submit your case, u can definitely apply for official transcript. if u find very difficult only u take the second option.
marriage certificate is much important document so try for it from court of law.
proof of fund can be yours or your spouse.
hope it is clear now.
