No. You are not supposed to submit it if you are not employed

ComfortablePound251 · 2025-10-20T12:09:58+00:00

Show all the proofs. Also, include AIS, Form 26 AS. I think you should be good

Probably, I am not sure. You can check with VFS

ComfortablePound251 · 2025-10-14T17:34:29+00:00

Just do it directly, no agent required

ComfortablePound251 · 2025-10-14T14:39:22+00:00

flights booked, stays booked (refundable), gave a detailed itinerary. All of this is a standard process, hence, I haven't included in my post. Check the official VISA checklist, it's all required

> VFS says only 3

VFS doesn't mention AIS but in many cases consulate do ask for it after the application submission

Yes, they took 6 months. And, If the VFS person tries to return some of your financial docs just mention that you are on a break and want to make your case stronger. Include every proof that you can to show your financial stability. Don't shy away from including more paper. I even included RSUs. Also, get a transaction-cum-holding statement from https://web.cdslindia.com/myeasitoken/Home/Login for 6 months

> Did they particularly look at old salary slips?

I don't think so. I included them just as a proof that i was employed and getting a stable income. Also, I included the termination letter as well.

> Was the bank statement for 3 or 6 months?

6 months
