self employed TRA - please help!!
some of the evidence you need to suppy to the tra doubles up when you do your affidavid statment, i.e. you need to provide your NVQ photocopy for the TRA and also for the Affidavit statement, should i enclosed 2 copies in these cases, or should i presume that they will cross reference (at the end of the day, it all going in the same envelope).
Also i am sending some originals for things that i don't need back i.e business cards and price list for my business, is this ok to do this or should i photocopy them as well even though i dont need them.??

Hello - not sure what you mean with Affidavit statement?
Remember, whatever you send to TRA you will also need to send with your Visa application - so make sure you have duplicates of everything. So yes it's fine to send originals as long as you have two originals.

The more cross-referenced evidence the better, they like to have lots and lots of evidence even if it shows the same point/fact over and over again.
Rather over-do the paper work than under-do it.
Good luck - as clippie said keep copies of statements/references for main visa application.

300 pages is impressive - is it double copies for the visa app too?
Good luck with it all! Just take heart - the TRA stage is the most labourious paperwork wise because you are reliant on getting stuff back from other people who dont understand your need to get everything done asap.
Wait till you have posted the docs (we used royal mail international signed for) - you will be mega nervous for a week until you get acknowledgement of receipt.
