EARNINGS AS SELF EMPLOYED TIER 1 (GENERAL)

Hi
i am on a post study work visa which expires in aug 2011.
i want to switch to tier 1 general.

. I have a Masters from a UK university.
. Age less than 27
. Earnings round about £37000
. 3 months maintenance of £800 completes on 10 march.

My Questions:
1. Does Tier1 visa close in the first week of march (Many believe it does). worried as my maintenance completes on 10 march 2011.

2. I have earned £25200 over that last 11 months through my job (have all pay slips docs. etc.) and around £13000 through my business (have all the statements, registered with inland revenue as self employed).
My concern is that i don't have any invoices for my earnings through my business as i outsource most of the work back home.

My Concern:
. Would it be too late to apply after 15th of march 2011.
. Would it be a problem if i haven't got any invoices for my earnings through business.

Will highly appreciate if anyone could help please.

Some one please help...

What about my second question...

invoices are a must for self employed applicants (sole traders) who are not trading under limited company structure.

Thanks rizwan for your reply...
does it mean i need to apply through a solicitor as i don't know how to do invoices and profit loss statements...

would someone please provide me with some sample invoices for self employed sole traders.

get in touch with Accountant and he will tell the best advice either you need a lawyer or not.

but definitely you need an accountant. as per my knowledge.
