@info78 and for all others who might find it useful.
I am pasting an employment letter format below tha


For paper application
colored photos, postcard size are fine. Put them in an envelope with a letter briefly explaining the reason you have attached these.
For chat back up: Go to Whatsapp settings > Chats > Chat History > Email chat, and email it to yourself. From there you can take a print out of the whole email.
Dear Shiv,
Thank you so much for the valuable information.
And I couldn't find the employment letter format, Where is it? Sorry, if i am wrong about it.

Anybody else who applied online for a sowp around July the 1st and still being processed ?
Applied on 20th May 2017, Delhi VAC . Done with interview within a month of applying and medicals uploaded and cleared two weeks after interview.
Still sitting in process. Dont know whether these guys have slept off or what. Their normal processing times show 14 weeks max but it has been way more than that in my case. You can not get an update on call neither walk-in is an option. You can only send email to them to which they are liable to reply within 30 days which they dont. It is highly frustrating.

Employment letter should have the job responsibilities, date of joining, designation, wearing company stamp and signed by HR, date of issue of job reference letter. Thats all.

Well the issue with MP is you can't choose your MP, it is actually based on your address in which riding you are living.
My friend has applied in June and I applied in July but still I got my approval now with help from MP and my friend's file is stuck and he didn't take any help from MP.
