AA being Myself
BB being my Husband UK citizen

We have been refused visa by ECO stating we haven't submitted employment letters from previous and present employers, format of bank statements not appropriate. They say that the provided pay slips(which add up to more than 30000) dont prove that the financial threshold is achieved of 18600.
My husband has changed job in Jan 2015 for which we have provided the payslip.

Can someone please suggest if its wise to reapply or appeal. (our bankstatments were sent by bank on their letter head but not signed and stamped.

VAF4A. Appendix 2 - Financial requirements form - This could include:

Letter from the employer confirming the salary, contract period and position [Document type: Original] -If the employment is less then 12 months with the current employer you will have to submit the details of the previous employer with all the original documents from the previous employer and a letter and offer letter from the current employer would be helpfull.

Hi Thank you so much for your reply.

I have a query, When we submit bank statments do we have to highlight the salary being paid into the ac?

Its better if you do so- they can directly look for and also if u got the small sticky tailing out of the page could be helpfull

Thank you so much for letting me know. Yes I will do that to make their work easy. Also have attached work letters from past and current employer. Past employer confirming that my husband was employed with them and was being paid duration of job position. New job, start date position, salary being paid into account, an his holiday when he was in India for marriage.
Which was paid and returned to service. On both company letter heads signed and dated.

We have replaced the bank statements to original signed and stamped with a covering letter on bank letter head in his name and address.

Please do let me know if there is anything else we can add to the existing list.
My husband is trying to get his tax letter for this year. But it's not going to reach us until 3 weeks. Can we just write saying we will provide it when we receive the p60?

That looks gud , is the letter from both employer's with both the gross and net pay tht would even more helpful.With regards to t p60 fr t current year thts k as it will take time to come so if u hv a letter frm both t employer's with t gross n net pay , orginal payslips and orginal bank statements should suffice.
