1/03/09 and 10/03/09 has received their passport.

Would any one let me what does Awaiting further consideration implies ???
my application arrived at home office on the 19 march.

according to the home office website today:
During the week commencing 13 April 2009, we expect to be considering applications that were received on or before 19 March 2009. Please note that this timescale is a guideline only, and some cases may take longer to consider.

Does anyone know..... based on this info when i should get my passport back?

Difficult to say really.....I'm still awaiting response from HO since beginning Jan...14 weeks now still waiting just praying. Yours is still early days yet...but, you never know, you just may be lucky.

So what do we expect from this ...
Any idea how much time does it take to process from this status ???

If the application enters Awaiting further consideration, it means .. you are at their mercy .

Very correct my friend......

Guys, what does HO regard as grounds for urgent treatment?

I can see that people are coming back with status's of their Tier 1 like 'Awaiting further consideration'. How do you get to know these status's. I had applied for my Tier 1 on 16th March (5 weeks from today), and have no idea how to check my status? I am applying from within UK. I haven't applied through VFS etc, as that is done only if you apply from India. Please help.

Hi there,

I also applied same time. I had a similar problem where i didnt receive refrence letter for quite long. I think i received it around 7th april or something.

chocoholic wrote:submit application to switch from WP to Tier1 (G) on 30 March but have not received acknowledgement nor reference number yet. Has anyone applied around the same time received those? I called UKBA this morning but my details are not yet on their system, which I think a bit too late

submitted urgent treatment request for family emergency attaching medical documents with translation. Can not do anything but wait... very frustrating

Hi,

Its so frustrating to hear Awaiting further/consideration from HO.
HO called my company and verified everything.
I have made a request for the urgent treatment too.
I have been hearing AFC for three days past the verification.

I was supposed to travel today, and my tickets are gone now.

Does anybody has such experience with HO.
I applied it on 28th Feb 2009 and still in waiting.

I am sorry to hear about this! It's very frustrating isn't! I am waiting on my application to come back too.

How come HO called your company????
What do you mean???

I hope your application comes back soon! I was hoping my would arrive today but it didn't so now I will have to wait until monday(hoping it's in mondays mail)
the waiting is the worst part!

Congrats!

I applied on 12th March and Fees was deducted on 13th March. I believe that a decision would have been made by this time and should be on its way by post.

hi lidlekiwi,

They called my company to verify my detaills. The company HR confirmed this. They got a call on Tuesday and eversince I have a awaiting consideration status. To add to that we have soft spoken helpless ppl at the other end of the 870 606 7766 to repeat the trained words.
Its very frustating.
