I applied for a skilled worker visa (from inside the UK, now I'm on a dependent Skill worker Visa) on 20/1/2024 and I received an email on 26/02/2024 from the UK Decision Making Team(email address Home Office Atlas) saying;
"Although we would normally decide your application within 15 working days/5 working days/1 working day from the date that your biometrics were enrolled, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.
This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues, and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision.
I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.".
I checked with the employer they haven't received any email; My quetiones are,
1. Why it mentioned "15 working days/5 working days/1 working day "? I just chosed standard submission, woudn't be more sensible to mentioned 8 weeks? The email is from Home Office Atlas does it mean it's automated email from system instead of from caseworker?
2. After 26th Feb no further email from Home office ask for further information, and my employer didn't received emaial yet. I'd assume if there is real issue, home office should contact me or my employer for further investigation.
Appreciate if someone met similar issue before and give guidence if possible.
Timeline:

Update on your application: 25/1/2024 (will get a decision in 8 weeks)
Application Update: 26/02/2024 (your application raises exceptionally complex issues)
Now Waiting
