Large transport on approach has TCASII RA, climbs and tells ATC go around. Given altitude to level, still has RA, continues climb until clear indicated, notifies ATC.

Narrative:
On approach to mem we were cleared the visual approach to runway 36L. We had the ILS tuned and idented and were flying the localizer and GS. Approach control was very busy at the time. At about 2300 ft to 2500 ft we received a TCASII RA and instructed to climb! Climb! Climb! By the TCASII RA. We cleared the area and proceeded to climb, putting the vsi in the appropriate þgreenþ climbing range. The captain instructed ATC of our go around and why. ATC gave us a clearance to level at 3000 ft. At 3000 ft we still had our TCASII RA active so we continued our climb as TCASII RA required. The climb RA ceased at approximately 3500 and said þmonitor vertical spdþ and we told ATC we could level at 4000 ft. A different voice answered from ATC and cleared us to þlevel at 4000 ft, runway heading, 190 KTS.þ we complied and the TCASII declared þclr of conflict.þ we followed ATC clrncs to another approach to 36L and landed without further incident.

Title: LGT ON APCH HAS TCASII RA, CLBS AND TELLS ATC GAR. GIVEN ALT TO LEVEL, STILL HAS RA, CONTINUES CLB UNTIL CLR INDICATED, NOTIFIES ATC.
Narrative: ON APCH TO MEM WE WERE CLRED THE VISUAL APCH TO RWY 36L. WE HAD THE ILS TUNED AND IDENTED AND WERE FLYING THE LOC AND GS. APCH CTL WAS VERY BUSY AT THE TIME. AT ABOUT 2300 FT TO 2500 FT WE RECEIVED A TCASII RA AND INSTRUCTED TO CLB! CLB! CLB! BY THE TCASII RA. WE CLRED THE AREA AND PROCEEDED TO CLB, PUTTING THE VSI IN THE APPROPRIATE þGREENþ CLBING RANGE. THE CAPT INSTRUCTED ATC OF OUR GAR AND WHY. ATC GAVE US A CLRNC TO LEVEL AT 3000 FT. AT 3000 FT WE STILL HAD OUR TCASII RA ACTIVE SO WE CONTINUED OUR CLB AS TCASII RA REQUIRED. THE CLB RA CEASED AT APPROX 3500 AND SAID þMONITOR VERT SPDþ AND WE TOLD ATC WE COULD LEVEL AT 4000 FT. A DIFFERENT VOICE ANSWERED FROM ATC AND CLRED US TO þLEVEL AT 4000 FT, RWY HDG, 190 KTS.þ WE COMPLIED AND THE TCASII DECLARED þCLR OF CONFLICT.þ WE FOLLOWED ATC CLRNCS TO ANOTHER APCH TO 36L AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
