Advise please, tier 2 application rejected

[drhopeful]

Dear friends,
My application for tier2 visa refused on the grounds:
My banking statements although been signed and put bank seals, they say it does not have logo!
1.What shall I do? The banks only issue the statements on plain paper and put a seal and signature!!
2.Is it advisable to go for administrative review? or reapply? which is faster?
My employer requires me to join them asap!
3.I'm little confused. they have given '0 points for prospective earnings, ECO comment N/A'(although i submitted, offer letter mentioning the earnings) but they have added up the points to 60 for attributes including the earnings. Is it a typo mistake?

I would greatly appreciate help and advise and thanks in advance

Did they sign/stamp on every page of the bankstatements?

I think a signed+/stamped bankstatments should/ better always be acompanied by letter from bank for Maintenance funds.. this might be case for rejection apart from logo..

please read page 37 of Tier2(G) Guidance paragraph 215..

Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s
letterhead are admissible as evidence (This
excludes mini-statements from ATMs).
If the applicant wishes to submit electronic
bank statements from an online account
these must contain all of the details listed
above. In addition, the applicant will need
to provide a supporting letter from his/her
bank, on company headed paper, confirming
the authenticity of the statements provided.
Alternatively an electronic bank statement
bearing the official stamp of the bank in
question will be accepted. This stamp should
appear on every page of the statement.

Reapplying is faster than appeal or AR but for reapplication you need to get new CoS as the current one might have already marked as USED..

please wait for others to comment on this.. maybe Ash can throw some better info/guidance.. goodluck mate

Hi, Mr. Ramesh,
Thanks for the reply. I'm extremely worried now.
I'd been waiting for COS for quite a long time. It got expired once, becoz by the time it got issued from home office(HO misplaced the cheque), 3 months had elapsed. This was 2nd COS. My visa application took 5 weeks to get decided.
I was told by my employer, to join by 1st week of Sept.(they had kept the job vacant for quite long).
Now how do I know, whether and how long the COS will remain valid?
I had applied in India, VFS had checked my documents, I only wish they had given proper advice on my bank statements. All the statements have seal and signature.

Getting/giving new CoS takes 1day for your company if it has the ability to give more than 1;

To check the validity of the current CoS your employer can check on the PBS Server where they login to issue the CoS/URN (Unique Ref No.); they can check the status of the CoS but i think it will mostly reflect as USED;

I am not sure exactly what is the time frame for the Admin Review but am sure it takes longer than normal visa processing..

Anyway goodluck mate wait for more seniors to advice you;
