Why post-decision records matter
After approval, many applicants stop tracking records. Future extensions, settlement, and citizenship applications depend on complete status history.
A clean archive reduces future error rates and speeds up later applications.
What to keep after approval
Decision records and any reference numbers.
Digital status access records and account details.
Passport history, travel evidence, and submitted support files.
How to maintain a usable archive
Store files by category and date.
Keep one timeline file with key grant, expiry, and renewal dates.
Update the archive after every immigration event.
