Schindler..
since your 6weeks completed on 8th you shd start calling HO.. this way u willknow where ur application is placed.. ur calls shd pass through this stages
if ur application is straightforward
Awaiting consideratio for 3-4days,
Under consideration 2-3days
once it is in Under Consideration you will get your Docs back in 3-4days for sure..
This is not Standard timeframe just out of my experinece...
Goodluck

After a painful wait for 7 weeks , I had my turn of good news today
Application type : extension - Non JR
Application date : 21-Jan-2009
Acknowledgement letter: 22-Jan-2009
Status as of 06-Mar-2009 : Caseworker not yet assigned.
Status as of 10-Mar-2009 : Got my passport ( +1 dependant) with Visa approved for 3 years
I was surprised that the entire process just took only 1 working day for me assuming that status given by home office is correct.
Thanks to everyone.

Well done gradkg.
Your application must have been clearly very straightforward, and the actual consideration process did not need to be too long.
