I am a partner of an EP holder and REALLY want to start working as a freelancer (not full time). I received quite a few requests for my services, but I need to get authorization to work. I applied for an EP twice in the past and was turned down in both instances (I did this through a Limited Private Company that my husband has for his consulting work).
I desperately want to receive permission to work this time around. I was led to believe that a LOC (Letter of Consent) may be easier to get. Am not sure how true this is.
I will be happy to hire someone a lawyer to help me but want someone who really knows what s/he is doing. For example, MOM rarely explains its decisions or what I may have done wrong, and I assume that a well connected lawyer or employment agency might be able to help with this. Rivkin, for example, has an extensive website and claims to have relevant expertise, but I would feel much more comfortable contacting them (or someone else) if I had a recommendation.
Any advice / recommendations will be greatly appreciated (I spent several hours reading the many posts relating to LOC and EP, but am still not sure what to do).
