ILR PEO deffered saying security reason..

Hi guys,

I would be really grateful if somebody could help me to understand what do they (ukba) mean by saying "security reason"???

This is the case of one of my friend. He went to Croydon PEO for ILR (HSMP + Tier 1) few days ago. The lady caseworker said the application and the documents are fine but she couldn't get the security clearance that day, and so she is holding his application with all the supporting documents. She has handed over him a letter saying "you application is valid but needs further inquiry so forwarded to the inquiry team".

He also asked the lady if it was because of IT problem, she replied 'no'. Now he is really worried as he never ever has had any spent/unspent convictions and no absence at all.

So can anybody help to understand what might be the reason behind.

Thanks for your time.

Yes, let's each of us make a guess and perhaps there can be a prize for whoever eventually gets the closest. Joking aside, you are not even the subject of the discussion, so if you, his friend, don't know his circumstances then I don't see how others (strangers) can guess them.

thanks for the reply lucapooka.
I'm a silent viewer of this forum for a long time. may be its been already discussed somewhere in the forum but i have never seen the reason (security reason) like this in here before. so i thought its good to share with friends in the forum.
as far as i know the caseworker does the security clearance check and gets the report the same day unless there is any IT issue. moreover he (the applicant) has no convictions no driving offences so far. so i was just looking for a help to understand what else they check under security clearance .
And if anyone doesnt want to help on this he is free to ignore it, no need to make a joke of it pls, as someone is suffering and needs a help.
thanks

i think..."security clearance" is probably an expression from the caseworker, which means it need senior caseworker to approve it or what

another reason i can probably think of is case worker need certain information which she doesn't has access to

If they do CRB check to see if the applicant has any convictions or not that might affect the application, or that the applicant has claimed any benefits that he/she should not have, these might be classes as security checks as well ..

If the main applicant or any dependant hold a passport issued from a country categorized as high risk country by UKBA, do you think this might affect the application? and might be classes as security checks as well!
Could any one holding a passport from one of these countries advise on this matter.
Thanks

Since it is a guess work, I am guessing his 0 absence was too good to believe ?? How can one not leave the country even for a single day? well possible but first time hearing this!!

No body can guess, what this security issue is,to hold on to the application.Unless the applicant himself post his version of events,as to what exactly happened at Croydon. Then Experts in this forum can give their opininon. I can uderstand your feelings towards your friend.

Hope there is no delay in this matter and ends well.

The hint is in the original statement. 'security reason' - isn't that enough to stop the guessing game? They don't call it that for no funny reason.

Secuirty clearance is required for all applicants apply for ILR but the question is how does UKBA 's vetting (checking) policy work?
