24-08 croydon HSMP JR PEO deferred (lost previous passport)

[frey80]

I am applying ILR under HSMP JR April to November 2006, lost the passport in 2009 after extension and applied replacement at home country.

Got appointment in the morning at 8am

Documents Check and biometrics goes fine without problem

Seeing Caseworker at 2nd floor about 9 am

Caseworker was quite nice actually.

He has spend quite lot of time checking on computer and senior caseworker because my previous passport with initial HSMP entry clearance was lost, he was able to tell from the system that i had student visa from 2002 to 2005 but he asked if i had any photocopy of the initial HSMP entry clearance but unfortunately i don't have this one which I been trying hard to get one before as i even asked if my previous employer got one with their HR.

I have the initial HSMP approval letter from 2006 and the reference letter from Home office when i extended my HSMP into Tier 1 after initial 2 years (the letter states i was covered by HSMP judicial review etc), he mentioned that established the case very well etc

then he spend quite lot of time on computer and talking with his senior, at the end he looks satisfied with what i got so he asked for last three months pay slips, five years p60, LIUK test and cohesive documents.

Also he asked for reference letter from my previous employer regarding the absence (i got total 80 days plus including paid holiday and none of them is over 40 days )

However he told me he is satisfied with my application and personally think there is no problem with the application but he need to do further check as they need to make inquiry to information stored in Liverpool.

so at the end he gave confirmation letter says

"your application is valid but there are further inquiries that need to be make on your case ...."

I wonder if anyone got into similar situation and how long does it takes?

Also i am confused why HO got my visa record from 2002 but not the entry clearance on 2007? what do they need to inquiry for?


also i just remembered strange thing, the caseworker is able to tell that i scored 80 points while i applied for replacement visa while i lost my previous passport at hometown, which i don't have to score any points for my HSMP extension for Tier 1, but as they don't have the right form i have to use a fresh Tier 1 application form......
