Visa refusal- previous earnings not multiplied!!!

[vizaviza]

Hi everyone!

I just got my visa refusal today after applying 2 days ago.

I was awarded 40 points for age and qualification, 10 for maintenance funds and 10 for English Language. However, I was not awarded the 40 points I claimed for previous earnings since they did not multiply my earnings by 3.2 (multiplying factor for the country I come from) and the amount was (of course) too low to score any points.

This is exact refusal explanation:

The documents you have provided do not support your claim of 80 points under paragraphs 1-31 of appendix A of the Immigration rules. Specifically, you have claimed 40 points under paragraph 4 but on the basis of the documents you have provided, which include pay slips for 12 months stating you have earned 23.000 GBP, you qualify for 0 points. You have not, therefore, scored a minimum of 75 points under Appendix A, and I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245C of the immigration rules.

Has this happened to anyone? Do you thing I should printout the part of the immigration rules with the conversion factors when submitting the administrative review? Can you tell me if I need to submit all the original documents again with the request for administrative review?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you explain a bit in detail, where did u apply from? Where did you earn the earnings? were you in UK while you earned these earnings etc etc

[vizaviza]

The earnings were made outside UK, 22000 GBP for 12 months paid in local currency.

in Bosnia & Herzegovina

If you were in UK during those 12 months, then there is no error in the decision made.

I was not in the UK. I was working and receiving salary in Bosnia.

Assuming you had submitted evidence of earning from two independent sources (e.g. - salary slips and bank statements), then there was a mistake on the part of the ECM. Apply for administrative review explaining where the mistake has been made.

You don't need to submit any documentary evidence again (for admin. review).

Sorry to hear that. Just a question for you does immigration stamp your passport with refusal or they just sent you a seprate refusal letter

[vizaviza]

I got the GV 51- the refusal of entry clearance and I also had my last page of the passport stamped with my case number and the date of refusal. Now I suppose getting even a tourist visa for any country will not be an easy task...

This week I am going for the administrative review and it would be great if anyone here can tell me what's the best way to submit the AR- post, e-mail, fax or in person?

Thanks a lot for all your replies and wish me luck...

I leave in the UK and earn £1,500 every month but also earn outside the Uk as a database administrator, will the earning from the 2nd country be accepted? (Database admin can work from anywhere in the world, all I need is an active internet conectivity)
Thanks
