June EC Rejected From Pakistan... need Suggestions!

Hi all,
My EC application gets rejected with the right of appeal on Tuesday.

Following is the exact text of the reason for refusal
“
You have submitted a work reference from ABC Company (pvt) Ltd that the BHC has been unable to verify as genuine whilst the HR Manger Confirmed that your employment was as genuine, checks with Pakistan Telephone Company revealed that the telephone numbers given on the employment letter is listed to a residential number. I do not find this to be credible in view of the fact it is business with 25 employees. I am not satisfied that your employer is as claimed. Therefore, your application fall for refusal therefore under paragraph 135 HA (ii)

â€

I think you should email the ECM ..... Entry Clearance Manager ... and give the further information that you have posted above, and indeed why not take a couple of pics of the place, and attach those to the email. I don't know what line of business the company does, but any brochures detailing its activities that you could also forward? And any accounts publicly available that could be forwarded?

That is, at this stage, make an informal appeal to the ECM, because if that is successful you will know that within a few days, whereas a formal appeal will take months.

hi John Thank you for your quick reply,

i have Bundle of proves that mentioned numbers belong to our company (that is Offshore Software Compnay)
do you think only an email will work in this case? Also i could not find email of the ECM. do you have any idea where to send email?

Also one majore concern is that if they are only concerned with Genuine of Company and its phone number or the fact that I am its employee or on both?

again Thanks and regards,

I dont think a simple email will do the trick. you need to appeal/complain through specified route only.

It is certainly not guaranteed to work.

I dont think a simple email will do the trick.

I am not saying that it definitely will work, but I am saying that it is worth trying. No harm in that. And if it does not work, a formal appeal should be made.

There have been many instances where an informal appeal to the ECM has caused a rapid change of decision, turning the rejection into the issuing of the desired visa.

Also i could not find email of the ECM. do you have any idea where to send email?

I think you need to send it to the Visa Section at the relevant British Mission, heading it for the attention of the ECM.
