Usage of "Being"

[Rikatang]

Hi everyone,

Is there any different in meaning for the below two sentences? Which of these two sentences are more correct?

1. We will not process your application until all invoices are being settled.
2. We will not process your application until all invoices are settled.

Thanks.

Hello, Rikatang!
The second is more correct.

When we speak about 2 events and one of them is in the future the rule will be:

The conjunction word" after, before, when, by the time, as soon as..." + present simple OR present perfect, will+ infinitive.

Until and till have a special rule:
Will not + infinitive until/ till + present simple OR present perfect.
Ex:
I will give you the bokk when I finsh reading it.
................................when I have finish reading it.

I will not give you the book until I finish reading it.

Will not = won't
Thanks.

Hello Everafter,

Thanks a lot.

Can I say the two examples with the same meaning?

2. We will not process your application until all invoices are settled.

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your explanation.

Actually, my intension is to write a sentence which means "we will process the application until all the invoice will be paid in future". At the time when I write the sentence, the invoices has not yet been settled. However, according to your explanation, the meaning of my second sentence is "the invoice is settled". If I want to express the action that has not taken at the time when it is written, Should I write like this:

"We will process the application until the invoices to be settled."
