General Visit Visa Rejected (Need Help)

[raja_ali]

I received my passport today and unfortunately my visa was rejected. a brief info regarding my application.

I am working in an institution as programme manager. There was a training event scheduled on 1st May 2014 at london. I applied for general visit (6month) on 27th March 2014. I attached a training booking confirmation email , a visa letter from the Pearson (They were conducting the training) and also a letter from my employer in which it was mentioned that all my trip cost will be covered by my employer. I also attached my pay slip for the month of feb and my bank statement which was around 920 pounds.
I didn't attached my employer bank statement as a proof of fund.

The total cost for the trip i mentioned was 1467 Pounds. Now the decision

Decision

You have stated that you wish to visit the UK for 5 days to attend training. You further state that you are employed at XYZ earning 267 Pounds. I accept that you have provided evidence of your employment status; however as evidence of your personal financial circumstances you have provided 2 personal bank statements showing the closing balance as 920 Pounds. You have stated that the cost to your personally of this visit will be 1467 Pounds and this sum equates to almost 5 times your monthly disposable income and i do not find it credible that you would allocate this volume of funds to visit to the UK at this time. As a consequences , i am not satisfied that you have given accurate account of your circumstances and this undermines the credibility of your application and all of the statement you have made therein.

Given all of this i am not satisfied your circumstances are as you have indicated, nor therefore your intentions is wishing to travel to the UK now. I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a general visitor for a limited period as stated by you, not exceeding 6 months,nor i am satisfied that you intend to leave the UK at end of the period of the visit as stated by you . 41(1)(2)

Further more i cannot be satisfied that you be able to adequately maintain and accommodate yourself in the UK without resources to public funds or taking employment or that you will be able to meet the cost of your return journey ( Paragraph 41(4) and (7) of HC395)

I have therefore refused your application because i am not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that you meet the requirments of the relevant Paragraph(s) of the UK Immigration Rules.

Your Right to appeal is limited to the grounds reffererd to in section 84(1)(c) of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.


Now i have received the email few days ago that the training event is postponed to new date which is 11-June 2014 at london. I still have enough time to Re apply . I attached my statement just coz to show them that i get paid directly in my account. The cost to me for this trip was not even a single penny. as my employer was paying for everything but i never attached any kind of bank statement as a proof.I want to ask what else should i include in my application now ??? Should i reapply?

1) Should i include my employer bank statement and what else?

2) Also i should i have applied Business Visit instead of General Visit? Does it make any difference?

3) I travelled UK in 2009 for my studies and came back in 2011

4) I dont understand when it was written in the letter from my employer that they will pay for whole trip then why they rejected that i didnt had enough money to cover the cost?

I would appreciate you reply? What should i actually do ?
