hi kris
we got a positive TRA in june. hubbie is self employed but sub-contracts to one company and has done that since 1999.
ive just taken the main application stuff to the agent, and the extra stuff i took was, an up to date employers letter (as the other was over 6 months old); 2004-2005 tax records; a took a letter from the tax office which i had requested stating that hubbie was self employed (wasnt asked for this); and the signed paperwork which they had sent us. and that was it!
i also took letters from 2000 from the NI, inland revenue and accountant, but he said he didnt want them. nothing else was asked for, as i was going to give a copy of the subbie card, a copy of the public liability insurance, the last 6 months of invoices, a form that hubbie had filled in in 2000 regarding subcontracting work, i was even going to take a photograph of the office!! (he laughed at that). however, he gave me the stuff back apart from what he had asked for, and said if they want something, DIMIA will ask for it, so to hang on to the other documents.
hope this helps SB
