[Soph and Ju]

So excited as we received email this morn telling us great news we have a case officer! They are now requesting further info! Hubby is a self employed plumber and we didnt go through an agency I did it all myself but obviously not right as they want more info! Any advice from tradesmen/plumbers exp would be really gratedul, as in what info did you send to prove your self employment-this is what they are asking me for!
a/ audited finiancial statements from aug 04-08
b/company registration docs
c/ taxation docs
d/ examples of major contracts
e/ advertising and marketing material (What??)
f/company profile/prospectus (What the ??)
g/ company organisational chart identifying your upward reporting relationships and responsibility for subordinate staff (OH didnt emply anyon else!!)
h/memeberships of any business/professional associations (already sent corgi cert along with various others he has!?)

So they dont want too much then!! We sent loadsa stuff to start with, could they have lost it? But now they are asking for stuff I dont think we can even give them! Worried now they will not give us our visa! :(

hi there.
Im a self employed nurse and the info above is prob required in relation to establishing his current work experience as well as evidence of employment.

IWhat you need to scan and send via email is 1) end of year accounts , just the last page with final figures( you must have paid your tax jan 31St)
2)get a letter from your accountant if sole trader rather than reg/ltd company stating so.
3) Who has he done work for? Get statments from happy customers if no major contracts.
4) letter head? how does he invoice?
5) has he ever advertised in paper , yellow pages if so send copy.
6)as above really

a good letter from accountant explaining how long trading, upstanding business etc etc, will suffix for a lot of this.
