How to close a police case and lift travel ban if the public prosecution does not respond?

Q: Good day, We are waiting for the final decision of the pubic prosecutor from the headquarters.The police officer told us to wait for 2 days for the response but already 2 weeks still no response. There is a decision already made by the pubic prosecutor. In the police station and the office, they told us to wait for the final decision from the headquarters. Actually, we need to close the police case to remove the travel ban given to us, as the police officer put us a travel ban while the police case was still open and he can only remove when the police case is closed. No criminal case if it happened. What happens to the case if the public prosecutor (headquarters) did not respond to the request for the final decision?
