Dear All:
My father has received his passport with UK Entry Clearance as a Returning Residents Visa (Multiple Entry/Indefinite Leave to Remain) ..... although the Dy HC did not insist as a pre-requisite, they sent my father a copy of form APP 09, which is a withdrawal of appeal form.
I feel they're hoping that my father will sign and the other outstanding appeal (Settlement as an Elderly Dependant Parent) will go away, rather than they (UKBA DyHC) having to withdraw their decision (APL1.9, APL1.20 and APL1.21), see
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/appeals/aplprocedures
Any advice ?
By the way, the DyHC scratched only the refusal stamp relating to the Returning Residents Visa. The refusal stamp pertaining to the Settlement as Elderly Dependant Parent has not been scratched.
Thanks !!

I have now been following up with the Dy HC with regards the issue of my father's Returning Resident's Visa. When I get through on their helpline (which is not easy) - I am told that the passport/application is going through "automated mandatory checks". When I asked what this meant - I got stonewalled yet again.
Does anyone know what these checks are ? Or are these simply further delaying tactics ?
Thanks
