Premium service application held - What could be??

[devaki]

Hi,

I went for PEO appointment yesterday and all went as usual, payment, application chekcing, biometric and finally to caseworker. After one hour of waiting case worker called and informed that he wants to make further checks so he is going to hold back our application and call when the decision is made. Does this is a usual one?? In such cases how long will they take to make decision? Doesn anyone had similar experince?

Please someone post their opinions.

Hi,

It depends on the nature and/or complexity of the application. If you are not a salaried employee, they may choose to do some verification checks before the application is approved. This is normal procedure and you have nothing to worry about, as long as you have provided all the required documents and everything is above board.

Just relax and hopefully you get a response within 2 weeks.


Good luck

If they cant reach to decision or needs to verify anything then they will hold the case. Can you pls tell more abt ur immigration history, category applied , docs submitted and any question asked by CW to you?

Normally junior caseworker withhold the applications because they cant make decision on time so they refer it to senior case worker.

Tell us more about your application so we can give you suggestions.

Category: Tier 1 Extension ( + 1 dependant)
PEO: Croydon
Visa Expiry: 15 April
Docs submitted:
Bank Statement (which also had Maintenance fund)
Payslips
Application form.
Had few other docs as well, Marriage certificate, Utility bills, PBS printout, Letter from employer but CW asked only for above

CW asked whether we have photocopies of bank statement and payslips, which we didnt had, he said no problem. No other questions at all. He got only the above docs and asked us to wait. It was totally strange. Finally he said, he has to do some immigration checks and will get back once all done.

Yes, thats true. We do suspect, is that could be? That was a total disaster. With my wife's initial Visa application, it was rejected considering my banks statements were false, totally devastating, which is not at all true. Only mistake from mine was to submit the printed bank statement from branch, though it was stamped and singed by branch manager. It took more than 8 months to win by Appeal. Is that could be reason as well? That is one main reason we want to go PEO now. Again it is ruining.

Well I believe that this is nothing to do with your previous dependant visa appeal decision .You won the appeal... UKBA accepted it and grant the visa.Chapter closed.

Now a days they do hold applications some time in some cases where !!
1: They want to verify your income .if u r self employed or may be even if you are employed.
2: They do checks on PNC to check out criminal record.If system is slow UKBA will not give decision on the same day.
3:They check with HMRC !! It takes time in some cases due to no reply from next Department.
4:Biometrics system down also caused delays some time.

Don't worry I m sure you will get your approval very soon if your papers are in order.

Best of luck.

Hi Devaki,

Did you get the decision from HO?

[ilrapplicant2013]

You have every right to asm the case worker what checks they have to do and give details.

It is thier obligation to provide this as they are failing to meet thier service.
Undersfandable they need to do further checks but they need to provide details and ask for more docs if required.

You should have asked him then and there, by the looks of it you have provided the docs required.
May be he wants to check them more, but he should at least let you know.

Hi,

I applied for FLR(m) UK spouse visa on 12th of July 2014 using a Premium service. The decision was not been made on the same day because the assessor needed extra payslips and bank statements. She said she will make the decision asap after she get these documents. I sent these extra documents the next working day. I am switching from tier 2 sponsorship visa to spouse visa. Also i changed my employer 5 days before applying for my visa. I thought i will be able to work with the new employer. But unfortunately after working for a week with the new employer i came to know that i cannot work with them. So i had to quit the job. Its almost more than a month now no decision has been made on my application, i have lost my job, i am living in a temporary accommodation. This is such a pain even after choosing a premium service you cannot get a result as you expect. I am not sure what to do? Has anyone faced the same situation? Or anyone have got any suggestions?

Thanks
