IMF, i'm not sure as i gave my lawyer all original copies. again, i stress that I got back every document I gave - there is a very high professional standard with the british. they will not lose your papers. you should check with the uk high comm / embassy in qatar if they accept notarized copies.

it is probably best to look through every single link on the left hand side of this page:-

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/supportin...

the site is very comprehensive and trust me you won't have any more queries after you carefully go through them.

again, good luck.
