I would say 'Awaiting consideration' implied waiting on the queue for a CW to handle while 'Active consideration' implies it is lready with a case worker but might be taking a bit longer to decide. My thought........

useful stats, everybody can log these FOI requests for their own week or maybe even that particular day. But I believe it has to be generic and not your specific case for it to be considered as FOI

Afraid not on my front Krishna, been on holiday past couple of weeks(In the UK obviously due to not having a passport!).

4 months and counting this week from when PEO received my "further documents required" as countless chasers by phone, email and MP.

I've almost talked my MP into referring a parlimentary ombudsman complaint, hopefully this will be agreed to submit later this week.

I got bored one day on this forum and based on the posts of about 100 people, it seems the average time from "submitting further documents" to decision of application is about 22weeks for people applying for ILR. Given I'm still within the "average" process time and given my case seems to be a bit rarer than many others, I'm not holding my breathe for much at the moment :(

Response from ombudsman
The complaint

You complain about UKBA’s delay in processing your settlement visa and the service provided by them.

The Ombudsman’s role

Our role is to consider complaints that government departments, agencies or organisations in the UK have not acted properly or fairly, or have provided a poor service. The organisation being complained about should usually be given a chance to respond to a complaint and, where appropriate, try to put things right before we look into the matter. We normally expect a complainant to have made their complaint to the organisation concerned and to have had their final response before they bring their complaint to us.

Our decision and next steps

The Ombudsman values the local resolution of complaints, as this is usually the quickest and most effective way for matters to be resolved. From the information you have provided it does not seem that you have yet put your complaint to UKBA. We have therefore decided that we will not consider your case further at this stage.

You explain that your MP has contacted UKBA on your behalf, requesting that they expedite your application. I hope that as a result of your MP’s intervention you are able to quickly obtain the visa that you require.

If you wish to continue to pursue this matter via UKBA’s formal complaints process, you should first make a complaint directly to UKBA and await their response. Details of UKBA’s complaints process can be located on the following website:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/about ... complaint/

If you remain unhappy after you have received the final response from UKBA, or if they fail to contact you after twelve weeks, you can then re-approach the Ombudsman.

To help your MP understand your complaint, you may wish to give him/her the following information:

an explanation of what the problem is;

a brief history of what happened, and when, including any replies to your complaint from UKBA;

copies of all letters and papers about the complaint; and

details of what you want to happen to put things right.

Having looked at your complaint, your MP will let you know the best way to deal with it. If your MP asks us to consider your case, we will look carefully at all the information you have provided and send you, and your MP, a reply telling you what we are going to do about it.

You also raise concerns that you do not understand some of UKBA’s policies and application process. The Ombudsman is completely separate from UKBA and therefore we cannot provide advice on UKBA’s processes. You may wish to raise these concerns directly with UKBA.

If you have any questions about what I have set out above, please get in touch with me using the contact details on this email.

Yours faithfully

Hi Krishnalvr, I contacted my MP four weeks (via letter) and got a response with a copy of the letter to UKBA inquiring about the status of my application. I check with my MP last week and she is yet to get a feed back from UKBA, i was adviced to wait for another two weeks after which they will start chasing UKBA for a response........so still waiting here.
