PEO Croydon-Strange Output-Any Help please

[nsuk]

I had an appointment in Croydon on 27/06/12 but was told that there need to be further checks as your entry clearance file was not closed properly in New Delhi. They say they will send the docs and passport to me once decision is taken.

any help.

Nothing to worry about!

Though extremely rare but has happened before, so you are not the first / only one.

From what little I understand, every case must be given a closed / complete status once a decision has been taken on it and no further enquiries are pending. Sometimes, this doesn't happen and the caseworker here will need to contact the office / team (in UK or overseas) that dealt with the "still open" case to double-check - this takes time and hence decision on an in-person application is deferred.

Many thanks for a quick reply.

The only reason to worry for me is that my wife's and kid's visa is expiring on 07/07/12 and I don't understand what to do about that.

Any suggestion will be extremely helpful

Apply as you had intended to do earlier, before their leave expires.

I believe the dependant application form asks for the date and reference number of the main migrant's most recent application - which, in this case, is the application you made at the PEO (yesterday). Fill those details in and you are good to go.

Thanks again.
I will do the same in the name of the God.
Also the letter they have given to me with the £1800 receipt says prominently that my application is valid but further enquiries need to be made. On asking whether my application is OK apart from the case open problem in Delhi he said I can't comment anything now. May be it is their policy not to comment anything till final decision.

Thats true. They wont say anything regarding your file. Don't worry, it seems like they only have 1 concern which is regarding your entry clearance and once that is being cleared you will get your docs back. In the meanwhile just do as Sushdmehta said. Apply your dependants application with your recent applications details. You should all get your visa extended soon. Good Luck.

Thanks for motivation dear longshift. I'll definitely look forward positively.

I saw this post and it seems strange for me as well.

Why could be a case status is still open after issuing the entry clearance? Is it a technical problem or mistake or anything else?

Thank you

I really don't understand what's the problem technical or otherwise. But yes it is taking too much of time now and my patience is running out. I'm planning to write to my local MP.
Thanks

I can share you my experience. When i first came to UK in 2009 on Tier 2 dependent visa, I had issue with my pay slips. Because I had worked in US for last 9 months before applying and didnt had original payslips. My company spoke to VFA and they arranged for submission of xerox without any attestation or signature. I was granted Tier-2 successfully. Then I shifted to Tier 1 later in 2010.

Cases like these often result in file not closed properly.

Finally by the grace of God and prayers of wellwishers I received all my docs and brp today.
Thanks everyone for help.
