I strongly advice anyone applying to strictly follow the guidance and keep your application as simple as possible.

I did not send p11 or p45, p60 or accountant investment letter. Application was properly labelled and documentation were simplified

Concise and professionally done - explains partly why it was processed so fast (I am sure part of it is luck in getting the right CW)

The ordering by sections is something I strongly recommend - makes it less probable the CW will make mistakes.

Just one point (not very critical) for anyone else who want to follow this. The following are part of the point scoring as they are essential conditions of the investment proof. So, I would put them in that section.

Business premises in UK
• Original certificate of incorporation from Companies house showing business address and my name as a director ( I paid 50pounds for this, but you don't have to)
• Company house appointment report with filling history
UK bank account
• Print out of business bank statement with official bank stamp. (1 page and labeled) I made sure the bank statement showed invoice payment from 2 customers. This helps with credibility
UK Taxation
• CT610, CT603 and CT600 ( you actually only need CT600)
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.
