Hi Guys,
What are the common mistakes one should avoid while filling in forms?

Thanks in advance

Some tips from my side

NO Blank Fileds.
Visa office Name should be correct like New Delhi, India. If you give country name you may get rejection
Ensure Payment method, You CC should have atleast six months validity
Consistent Information
Detailed job duties

To add to the last post -

1) clearly mention N/A or use specific words as given in the instruction guide especially for sections that ask for citizenship of other countries/membership of any group.
2) For all current activities/experience/job/address don't write the end-date. Instead write 'Current' in hand.
3) Dont' forget to calculate appropriate proof of funds as required for your family size and mention the amount correctly.
4) Attach original IELTS and PCC with your application.


Regards,
STS

Thanks (2) is quite helpful. I think current activities with end date as 'Present' will also do.

Also,
1. What to write in the maritial status of a deceased person?
2. Should we also write the country of the visa office that we are requesting.

Thanks in advace

Also,
is it ok to fill sections by handwritten text where printed text cannot easily fit as the pdf forms do not allow the font to be changed.
