Add Button at the top of a view iOS programmatically

I am trying to program my app's view controller. It has buttons and textfields. I want to put my objects into another view (the one with color green background). The first Textfield should be at the very top of the green view.

I know how to make it center. But I need to put it starting at (0,0) of the green view.

Here's what I've done so far:

// add UI View For TextFields and Login Button
UIView *utc = [[UIView alloc] init];
utc.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
utc.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenWidth * 0.95, 170);
utc.center = CGPointMake(screenWidth * 0.50, screenHeight * 0.68);
[self.view addSubview:utc];

// add textfield1
UITextField *emailTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, utc.frame.size.width, miniButtonWidth.height)];
emailTextField.center = CGPointMake(utc.frame.size.width * 0.5, utc.frame.size.height * 0.01);
emailTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
emailTextField.background = [UIImage imageNamed:@"textfieldLogIn.png"];
emailTextField.placeholder = @"Email Address";
emailTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[utc addSubview:emailTextField];

I'm using the same way (configuring the frame and center) of the views in my other Viewcontroller, and the design looks perfectly nice, just in this case, I can't put the textfield at the very top. I'm new in iOS.

If you want emailTextField at the top left, but still centered, than just initialize it with those values and don't edit the center.

UITextField *emailTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, utc.frame.size.width, miniButtonWidth.height)];

emailTextField will be at the top left and you won't have to center it because it is already the width of the utc.
