It depends on the diplomatic mission. In Berlin they are available on the spot if an interview is requested in advance. London can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Canada is also quick. Elsewhere such as Bangkok and India processing times have been quoted over 6 months.

The quick times for Berlin, London and Canada have been for straight forward cases with no medical or character issues. The applications also have to be front end loaded to be processed quickly.

Just to add that processing times are often quoted on the missions websites. London quotes 4 months and someone on here was processed in just under that time due to character issues.
