EC Rejection-Possible Options now

[umanghere]

Hi,

Unfortunately my EC application is rejected.
They rejected on grounds that I am claiming 45 pts on Salary whereas I am eligible only for 25.
Interestingly I provided the same HSMP set seeing which they gave me HSMP approval to start with .

I have been provided a form which I can fill and Appeal if I think i have a case with supporting documents.

Has anyone on this forum have any kind of exp in this.
I have seen people going for re-applying EC rather then Appeal. whats the time frame for appeal getting answered?

Re-applying I am bit averse now, because one it will cost me another 50k plus for self and dependent plus if they didnt read the documents provided first time , how to believe this time you would be lucky !

Any suggestion welcome.

Note-My salary case was on pro rota basic.I was in the UK for 5 months and India for 7 months.,
As per guidance note in such case , they will cal salary for where u have spent most time, ie India for 12 months.
Looks like this PERSON doesnt care to read that in my document and only calculated pt based upon 7 months Indian Salary !

Hi umang,

that's a shocking news for me yaar.........i simply can't believe, why this people do double check with HSMP letter.....i mean, u apply to HO , pay money, get the evaluation done and get the approval letter......and saala this visa people check the same thing again and reject......its a waste of money yaar......

anyway, i think in ur case you have to make a document stating very clearly about ur UK salary and indian salary and prove that .....this is how i am eligible for 45 points.........i think u should appeal rather than re-applying......since if u re-apply that means u are not standing still with ur early documents, visa officer can feel.......better u appeal and give all the explanations in form of documents....this should help.....rather than putting money again......

if u feel, i can help u with any advise or suggestions, u can write personal message to me or call on 9945084222

best of luck buddy....be strong and dont lose ur confidence....i have seen bunch of people getting approval after initial rejection..

Thanks for your words Mohan.

Yeah it has come as a rude shock..Anyway I am going for option of request for Review.

Appeal as i am told is painfully slow..may take 6 months to 1 yr for any decision.

review request shd be quick.

Will keep you all posted and lets see
