My wife's got rejected for same reason but I applied under old rule and they said that my job is not genuine even though contract of employment + job offer letter and a support letter from my employer was provided but they did not even contact employer and ask.
When I had appealed I provided another letter from employer + the company accountant to say I work there but no reply as of yet even though I have emailed them 3 times about 20 days ago or so and not had a reply as I sent emails to 3 different BHC emails. Even my MP wrote a letter of support to say I earn £18600 but no reply even though my visa for rejected under old rules.
May I ask kindly which email did you email them on as below are the emails I have used.
visaenquiries.islamabad@fco.gov.u
Visaenquiries@fco.gov.uk
appeals.islamabad@fco.gov.uk
Really fed up as it was a really strong appeal and they have not even got back and contacted AIT but they are unable to do anything at this time!

No I didnt contact my local MP.
My wife's visa got rejected because they believed I, her husband and sponsor, did not meet the financial requirements.
I am employed by a large corporate company. However they rejected my wife's visa because they assumed I owned this company and therefore I have not been truthful and so they said they could not determine if I earned above £18,600! This was even after I gave them my work contract which clearly stated my position and gave them 12months of payslips. For the appeal I sent them exactly the same documents again and pointed out that their assumption they made has no basis and is in fact wrong.
So just been waiting for them to acknowledge their mistake and give the visa after sending the appeal documents.
Wife rang Gerry ISB today & asked about stamping times as its been 3 weeks already after submitting call letter & passport etc, they told her to kp waiting as waiting times for getting passport back is "indefinite"
Ps well done akhan47, hope it all goes well in sept
