Congrats.

But its not surprising as all those who applied individually without a team member and the money in personal account in the UK, have got their visa in a month.

Hi Yasir,
The link below is for the UK trade and investment website. Registration is free.

http://www.ukti.gov.uk/home.html

You would need to check google for the professional bodies in your area of business to register with. The fees would depend on the particular body you register with.
Good luck!

Hi,

I just explained how I moved money from all my other accounts including isa so that everything will be in the same account. I also told them how much I got from my aunt as gift. I attached my statements showing how l had been saving the money for the last 3 years before I moved them. I did cos I wanted to avoid interview at all costs.

2. You need to call company house and order the original CAR on the phone. They will debit your account with 3 pounds and send both the invoice and the original hard copy CAR to your home address.

Good luck!
