I'm just checking the big stats spreadsheet I downloaded about this covering October 2010 to September 2011 and it says for London spouses & partners:

20% processed within 2 months
30% processed within 2 months
50% processed within 3 months
70% processed within 5 months
80% processed within 7 months

Hopefully that sheds a little light on what lies beneath the surface of that 7 month processing stat, at least up to last year. I know a few people have commented that the processing time for London seems to be a little longer lately, so maybe the stats will look different for the year up to September 2012. I can imagine adding on an extra month to each percentage bracket would more than likely account for it.

I filed in late Feb and fly in mid Sept, and even with the additional step of dealing with Quebec and my medical furtherance, I'm still hopeful that perhaps I might be processed within 6 months in total. But I'm also prepared for that not being the case.

You can only do it by appt and these offices generally only have one morning a week that you can do it. It prob won't work for us but it may for some others that are far from the borders.
