As you said earlier you applied as team. So I dont know whether you are applying now as an individual or as a team again. The above documents are for an individual application. But if you are applying again as a team then you need some other additional documents.
I would suggest you to make different folder for the documents. ie. one folder for your degree; one folder for your maintenance bank statement; one folder for application form photos and BRP; one folder for 50 K bank statement and 3rd party letter; one folder for all other supporting documents. Make sure you label what is in the folder. This is nothing but to make the work of the case worker easier. You can ignore this if you feel so.

If any doubt or questions feel free to ask.

Note: I am not an expert but this is as per my experience and as I applied.

@ atariq5, are you sure you can submit a third application? Who adviced you to submit a third application.
I think the only option you have is to go for JR if your refusal reasons in the second application can be defended in front of a judge.

Thank you aby00156 for your detailed reply.

I am applying as a single applicant this time as a Self-employed person.

Most of the documents are dated well before 10 July but I have few queries.

1. I forgot to mention the business contracts. I have two running contracts (one paid by bank, one my cash), between the companies and myself (as I am self-employed). I am sending copies of these as originals are with Home Office (each page signed as mentioned in guide).

2. 3rd party letters - This funding is from a family friend who transferred around £10,000 in my personal account back in march in multiple transactions. Amount has been in my account for over two months now. Do I still need to submit a letter from 3rd party's bank.


I am sending my application in a Lever arch file, dividing documents in around 10 section according to their nature.

Kindly can you please suggest an order and how should I categorise the documents. I have made an Index, sort of Table of content and mentioned order and section number, which will be a part of my Application covering letter. A template for covering letter would really help.

I appreciate your time and effort.

Regards

Thank you Olasunkanmi for your response. My own solicitor and a few others advised me to make a fresh application before I overstay for more than 28 days. I am planing on submitting a JR as well but its a long process and I would be an over stayer for all that period so to be on the safe side I am sending a fresh application.

Olasunkanmi is right. Please confirm once before applying.

Most of the documents are dated well before 10 July but I have few queries. Any document after 10th July 2014 can cause a rejection again.

1. I forgot to mention the business contracts. I have two running contracts (one paid by bank, one my cash), between the companies and myself (as I am self-employed). I am sending copies of these as originals are with Home Office (each page signed as mentioned in guide). That should not be a problem, just make sure the contracts have your name and your clients name and contact details. Home office some times tend to contact your clients for confirmation. Also if contacted your client must be able to confirm the contract.

2. 3rd party letters - This funding is from a family friend who transferred around £10,000 in my personal account back in march in multiple transactions. Amount has been in my account for over two months now. Do I still need to submit a letter from 3rd party's bank. If you have 50K in your account for atleast 1 month then you dont need to show it as a 3rd party. All you need to show is to provide a 1 month (in your case 2 months if you can )old bank statement with the money not going less than 50K. Even I showed only one moth statement. The money was transfered to me by my dad.


I am sending my application in a Lever arch file, dividing documents in around 10 section according to their nature. 10 folders are too many ... lol . Please reduce the folders if possible

Thank you aby00156 for your detailed reply.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate. Working on my covering letter now and want to include all the information and explain circumstances.

Most of the documents are dated well before 10 July but I have few queries. Any document after 10th July 2014 can cause a rejection again. I have enough docs before 11 july 2014 and only including docs after 11 july to show the continuity of activity.

1. I forgot to mention the business contracts. I have two running contracts (one paid by bank, one my cash), between the companies and myself (as I am self-employed). I am sending copies of these as originals are with Home Office (each page signed as mentioned in guide). That should not be a problem, just make sure the contracts have your name and your clients name and contact details. Home office some times tend to contact your clients for confirmation. Also if contacted your client must be able to confirm the contract. Check

2. 3rd party letters - This funding is from a family friend who transferred around £10,000 in my personal account back in march in multiple transactions. Amount has been in my account for over two months now. Do I still need to submit a letter from 3rd party's bank. If you have 50K in your account for atleast 1 month then you dont need to show it as a 3rd party. All you need to show is to provide a 1 month (in your case 2 months if you can )old bank statement with the money not going less than 50K. Even I showed only one moth statement. The money was transfered to me by my dad. When did you submit your application? updated form clearly mentions if amount was transferred less than 90 days before then 3rd party letter is required.


I am sending my application in a Lever arch file, dividing documents in around 10 section according to their nature. 10 folders are too many ... lol . Please reduce the folders if possible Agree.. I have reduced to 7 sections. I have a lot of professional CPD docs dated well before 11 july 2014, hopefully they will help.

Kindly can you please suggest an order and how should I categorize the documents. I have made an Index, sort of Table of content and mentioned order and section number, which will be a part of my Application covering letter. A template for covering letter would really help.
