Isshy, what did they mention about your wage-slips? Why did they refuse them? Did they ask for additional documents that could amend the decision in your favour? If so, just get new wage-slips from your employer and send them within the given time-frame.

What happened with my slips is that my statements didnt match with the amount of money that was going in my account. My boss made a messup and was putting few pounds less than the threshold. So over a few pounds they have rejected it. Dont know what to do. Don't wanna wait another 13 months for an answer. They also said that this isnt final decision as the minimum threshold may go back to 13 thousand then I can get it. Does anyone know if it will go back down or wen is it

and with the amount of money on your payslips was is over the threshold of £18600?

does anyone know how can we contact Gerry's to change the details like contact number?
i just received a call from BHC, they took my interview over the phone and tell me that Gerry's will contact me within few days. I have actually changed my number and now confused how am i supposed to contact them to let them know that they need to contact me on different number.
None of their contact number is working that is 8865 or 8111and landline for UK visas. :(

it seems like bhc waited until now that the court decision has come out and they have refused you, in a way bhc cant be blamed for their decision. Rules clearly state bank stamen must show the exact salary shown on the payslips. if you have everythig in order than your best option would be to reapply rather than waste more time appealing.

Threshold might go down next summer if the government is changed.
