Dear Mr hsmp28122006,
The reasons for refusal will be clearly mentioned on the refusal letter.
You have either appeal or reappy, you cannot do both.
Your application which in the interests of natural justice would be dealt with by another Visa Officer. I cannot of course guarantee the outcome of any future application. In the event the application is not successful the fee is non-refundable.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Sir/Madam,
Many thanks for your response!
1) Would past refusal affect future application? If no, is there specific reason of mentioning the refusal in application?
2) Also, do I need to attach refusal letter too, with the fresh application, while re-applying?
3) Is there any harm if I re-apply AND appeal SIMULTANEOUSLY?
4) Is there any way to understand the reason of refusal of my application? This question is important for me, as my future application documentation will depend upon the reason of past rejection.
Yours Sincerely,
hsmp28122006

Dear Mr hsmp28122006,
Please address the refusal in your future application.
If you have absolute evidence and if you wish to challenge the decision of the Visa Officer you may appeal.
The decision to reapply or appeal is yours.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your reply!
In refusal letter, following was mentioned as reason of rejection:
"The Entry Clearance Officer's decision
I have refused your visa application on this occasion because I am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirements of the paragraph 135a and 320(15) of the Immigration Rules. This decision will not prejudice any future visa application that you make.
The Entry Clearance Officer's reasons and supported evidence
I have carefully considered your application. However, you do not qualify for a visa for the following reasons.
I have assessed your application against the criteria and points table for HSMP. My calculations, based on the documents you have submitted with your application, show that you are short of the minimum required points total by twenty points. Consequently I am not satisfied that false representations were not made and that all material facts were disclosed for the purpose of obtaining your immigration employment document."
This does not clearly state that for which criteria I missed 20 points.
My claim for HSMP was:
Age - 20 points
Earnings - 25 points
Degree - 30 points
May I request you to let me know evidence for which of above (Age or Earnings or Degree) was not satisfiable?
Also, can I appeal and re-apply for Entry clearance simultaneously?
Yours Sincerely,
hsmp28122006

Subject: Regarding Entry Clearance refusal
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is regarding entry clearance refusal recieved by me today (02/02/2007).
My HSMP approval letter has not been sent back to me, which I had attached with
my entry clearance application.
Now, I have following queries:
1) Can I er-apply for Visa/Entry Clearance? If yes, how can I re-apply without HSMP Approval Letter, since HSMP letter has not been returned by Embassy? Is re-applying still possible?
2) Do you not return HSMP Approval Letter when you refuse Entry Clearance?
3) If you use to return HSMP Approval Letter too, why was it not returned in my case?
4) Is appeal the only option remaining?
5) Can I put extra documents with appeal application, which I had had not submitted with Entry Clearance application?
Detailed refusal letter received by me is attached with this email.
Thanks a lot for your help and support.
Yours Sincerely,
hsmp28122006
