You could also call this:

“Commissioner can say no to deciding if things are too tricky”

The Commissioner can decide not to make a decision about your application if they think the issues are too complicated. This can happen at any time after they look at your application. If the Commissioner decides not to make a decision, they won’t do anything else about your application.

If the Commissioner decides not to make a decision, they must tell you why in writing. They will send you a letter or email explaining their reasons for not making a decision.
