JQuery Ajax Asynchronous Redirection

I face a weird issue while redirecting after an asynchronous ajax POST request. I want to send an asynchronous POST request (file upload) to the server and until I wait for it to finish, since it takes some time, I want to redirect to a different route and there I can watch the status of the upload. My problem is that even if I state that the request is async it first waits for this request to finish, synchronously and then redirects me. Am I missing anything by chance?

upload.save = function (data) {
    var self = this,
        result = self.uploadType.getSummaryData();

    $.ajax({
        method: 'POST',
        url: Routing.generate('save'),
        data: JSON.stringify({
            //My data
        }),
        cache: false,
        contentType : 'application/json',
        dataType: 'json',
        context: self
    });

    // Redirection
    setTimeout(function () {
        window.location.replace(Routing.generate('log'));
    }, 3000);
};

I am using Symfony 3.4 and JQuery version is 2.1 and for the redirect I use the FOS JS Routing Bundle v~1.4

So the issue seems to be on the server side. It seems like PHP needs to end the current session and store the session data with session_write_close() so that each ajax request doesn't have to wait for the next one if async is true.

So this is needed to allow concurrent request from the client side

When async setting is set to false, a Synchronous call is made instead of an Asynchronous call.

 $.ajax({
        method: 'POST',
        url: Routing.generate('save'),
        data: JSON.stringify({
            //My data
        }),
        cache: false,
        contentType : 'application/json',
        dataType: 'json',
        context: self,
        async: false
    });

When async setting is set to true, a Asynchronous call is made instead of an Synchronous call.
