Hi all, I sent them an email but recieved a letter by post instead just advising that application is awaiting checks and the timeline for these checks varies based on applicant circumstances, etc.
Has anyone else recieved a letter by post like this?
Do a flashback, are you sure it is not related to
uk-tier-4-student-visas/working-more-th ... 84134.html
Hmmm, good point but that verification should be quite instant isn't it? Shouldn't take that long to investigate that from HMRC? Also, I never worked more than 20 hours during term time so I hope that's not an issue (worked 35 hours during holidays).
So I thought too. You have got a clean immigration history judging by your previous posts. and you have always done the right thing regarding your LTR. Some Caseworkers are just funny honestly. Judging by everyone contributions regarding the commuications from HO, one can easily put the bits together and have a fair understanding of their process.
I am sure one of the teams that handled the checks on your case before it was finally passed on to the Caseworker for final caseworking/decision must have noted it on their checklist that you were a student and worked during that time, which is legal. But because of laziness/Looking-for-fault, the caseworker must have flagged it for further checks to see if you never worked more than 20 hours during term time.
I think you will just need to wait for them to finish check whatever they want to check, which should have been instant but well, you just need to wait. And continue living your life normally. Just make sure you are keeping it clean till you hear from them. PCN/FPN etc.
Thanks! I just emailed them and was hoping for an email repsonse but was surprised to get a letter instead (and another one!!).
The first letter (dated on the date of my email) was quite short and to the point, said that they were waiting on checks from external agencies (probably overseas) and will make a decision as soon as the checks were completed.
The second letter (dated a week after the first letter), said all of the above, but also about 'good character requirement' and how it has not been defined in the law and is subject to interpretation and there is no time limit specified to make sure that the good character requirement checks are completed and verified... And that naturalisation is not automatic, etc.
So I reckon, they are just waiting on checks and it's been held up somewhere
