And will immigration need to see all my original documents again or will they still have them on file...? I have photocopies with me, but am suspecting that maybe will cause some problems???

there are two ways to apply for your visa, 1) Change of status from visitor to whatever you want ( i guess employment thats what you want) 2) Direct entry visa. if you use channel one then you don't need to exit Hong Kong. if you use channel 2 then you must exit from hong Kong and come back when you have valid approved visa in your hand. the length depends on how fast you get visa and come back.
you must produce all originals or certified treu copis again, although they will have your old record but burden of proof is on you NOT on them, therefore for any new aplication it would be better for you to produce all documents again.
