Entry clearance after work permit

[phss]

Hello all,

After an unsuccessful first try, I've finally got my work permit. Thus, the next logical step is to apply for an entry clearance right?

So, I was wondering how hard is to get an EC with an WP. Since I have an WP, it means I've already secured a job, thus it would be easier to prove I can maintain myself. Is there any issue I should be concerned?

I've not found it difficult - only lengthy sometimes and costly (always). I think it's about £350 for the Leave to Remain (which is the EC you are talking about).
It's rare for it to be knocked back if you have the WP. I've done it successfully 3 times now.
