Hi Monish,

I can answer for the following questions 1,2 & 7

Its better to get a notary certificate for the difference in name. I have seen a post in this forum telling his hsmp has got rejected stating the reason due to difference in name even though he has provided the notary letter. Its always better to provide a notary letter.

Its compulsory to get the bank seal and authorised person signature. Are you talking about any of the bank in India.

Regarding the english requirement, you have to get the letter from the university. Its better to get the letter in university letter pad with seal and signature.

thanks a lot for the reply.

As my name is not changed, only my initials are expanded in Passport and other employer document. I am not sure notary will attest for this case.

Regarding bank statement, iam talking about bank in Switzerland and they do not do sign and seal.they generate print out
what shoul i do in that case.

You can get a notary certificate for that. Even i had a same problem whereas my passport has got my surname but in all the other documents my surname is restricted as initial. I got a notary certificate for that.

regarding the bank statement, you have to talk to the bank manager. I am not sure about the process involved in swiz but in India you can easily get it.
