Awaiting Validation

We are reviewing the application to confirm that the learner has provided all information and evidence.

You should inform learners that we may need additional residency information following the initial Home Office check. This check may take longer during peak processing times at the Home Office, which can cause delays to our assessment.

Awaiting Investigation

We have told the learner that we need more information to assess their eligibility. They’ve provided this and we will process the application in due course.

If we find there is still information missing once we have checked the evidence, we will ask the learner to send this. The application will then move to Missing Evidence status. Once we have the relevant information, we will move the application to Approved or Ineligible status.
