EC Rejected - Should I appeal - Need Urgent Help

[vibhuvibhu]

My EC got rejected yesterday for the reason that I didnt have GBP 2800 since last 3 months in my account. Though I did provide the worth of Stocks n Shares in my name but they said that I didnt provide any evidence to prove the stcoks holding so they wernt satidfied ( I REMEMBER PROVIDING A COPY OF MY SHARE ACCOUNT STATEMNT WHICH I GUESS THEY MISSED OUT WHILE GOING THRU THE DOCUMENTATION).

My HSMP letter is with them n i hv a chance to appeal. What should i do ??? I can't wait for very long.

It will help if you can provide the exact wordings for their refusal letter.

Before submitting your application, did you check with BHC if shares/stocks are considered acceptable proof of maintenance funds?

regards

[vibhuvibhu]

I plan to check for that with BHC tomorrow and would reply rt after that.

1.) I heard it takes approx 6 months for appeal to come through. As it really true ? ... if yes, then i dont think it makeas sense to appeal as by the time the decision comes the HSMP permit would have expired.

2.) Also, what if i reapply with photocopy of that HSMP and refual letter along side. Is that possible.

3.) What if EC gets rejected after reapplying for teh second time. Can we still aply teh third time ?? or wud be become unfit to apply ever ?

[vibhuvibhu]

I talked to BHC guy today. He said the following :

1.) Shares/Stocks are valid declarations for evidence/proof of financial maintenence.

2.) Administrative Review and Appeal are two different things. Also, Review takes 20-30days where as appeal takes 6 months or over.

3.) It cud be a mistake(where visa officer said shares are not valid evidence) while processing my application (in my case).

4.) He suggested that I file for review.

5.) He said we can reapply ANY number of times from the very next day of refusal till the date our HSMP is valid.

6.) He didnt know how to reapply in case when HSMP letter is still retained with BHC.

NOW, I dunno where to get the review form from ??? I didnt get it with my documents.

Hi Vibhu,

My case is almost the same. I also did not got back my original HSMP Approval letter (It has been more than 20 days, and there is no response from BHC) and Administrative review form. I asked from VFS about it, but they had no clue about it. So, when there was no proper reply from anywhere, I sent email for an Administrative Review. But so far there is no response. These people are very very slow.

We should have received this form

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... ormgv51lra

with our refusal.

If you have applied in North India, send an email for administrative to

visqry.newdelhi@fco.gov.uk, vfsuk.north@vfs-uk-in.com, postmaster.nedel@fco.gov.uk

otherwise get the correct email from

http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/

A case similar to yours, where the reason(s) for rejection is non compliance with Tier 1 guidance regarding maitenance funds.

Seems british high commission (new delhi) is rejecting EC applications in masses on the same grounds:maintenance of funds...

unfortunately in my case ECO really made a mistake. i showed last 3 months maintenance all in cash, still refusal i.e. waste of atleast 1 month time.

Sending for review soon..

but am not sure if High commission is really taking admin reviews seriously as they never reply to your mails.

Moreover, there is no tracking mechanism for Admin reviews. You submit your application and wait that some fine day you will receive a letter with positive outcome...

@vibhuvibhu ..

GOODLUCK for your Admin review.
After this Admin review what is the next step? Will they issue visa if the review result is positive?

Thanks,
GM

Hi all,

Problem
I applied for Entry clearance to UK from Delhi and i have got the following reply from the Visa Officer
" I have refused your visa application on this occasion becuase i am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities, that you meet all of the requirement of paragraph 245F of the immigration Rules.
Points awarded
HSMP -75
English language -10
Maintenance - 0

Next steps Taken Alongwith Admin review form, I just sent the updated Bank documents (Originals) to BHC as I did have required funds for last 3 months. I also received an acknowledgement letter from BHC. My bank account has cash.

Question
My Originals >> My Passport , MArriage certificate and my son's Birth Certificate, which was earlier returned to me by BHC is still with me
Will they call me for an interview and should I then give these docs to them?

Advise/help needed
People with similar case, can you pls tell me what next steps u took after ur visa application got rejected for non maintenance of funds. What all docs you have submitted and did u got any updates from BHC?

People with similar rejection cases please share updates/email for further quick discussion
