Well....I have finally qualified for HSMP. After submitting last weeks' timesheet, I now have my 75 points and am eligible to prepare my application.
I'm still completely undecided about how I'm going to do it though!!
I've been told my application is complicated...which of course it is (Limited Company Structure, dividend payments, earnings under 2 different companies) so I have been leaning towards a Immigration company to assist with my application...just to make it easier on myself really.
I have had quotes for between £700 and £1200 + Government fees of £750....it's adding up to quite a bit of money!
Plus....I still have to obtain all the information myself, and hand it over to them. I still have to organise all my accountants documents, from what I can tell, they will just be telling me 'what' to request, and writing the cover letters, overseeing the application process, and making sure that all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed (any immigration consultants, please feel free to correct me!)
Of course, I've read every forum posting on my circumstances, there aren't that many i'm afraid, i've searched the web, I've got the home office guidelines, application information, FAQ's etc...I have as much information as I can possibly find.
So...my question to you all is, what should I do?
Should I attempt to prepare my application myself, writing clear cover letters explaining all differences etc
The rest of my application seems simple:
Age - Birth Certificate
Qualification - Degree Certificate
UK experience - Same documents as Salary
English Language - Letter from university stating degree is in English (format as per forum postings)
It's really only documenting my Limited Company earnings that I am concerned about, and the latest caseworker guidelines are definately a lot clearer than before.
I'm stuck.....any suggestions from anyone. I have until Feb/March before I need to have it submitted, so plenty of time. But I don't want to get caught up in the new changes....so ideally, the sooner the better!!
Thanks guys.
