    You can do it all by yourself. Get all your documents ready and ask for help any time you need it. Make sure your English Test meet the benchmark and your POF is at least 6 months. If you're applying alone better as you won't have to worry about your spouse or kids. All the best!

    @startup2019 my Letter of Support is valid for 1 year I'm surprised that yours is valid for only 6 months. I sense you were expected to immediately apply for WP once it was issued. The Letter of Support is a very important document for SUV if not the most important. My advice will be to...

    @startup2019 your questions have been answered well by @itsmelee I will add that you should exercise patience as you may not hear anything even after 5 months of submitting your biometric but once the processing starts it runs fast. As at last October 2019, the processing time was 13 months...
