There is an "official" processing time that says Immigration are currently processing offshore cases lodged in December 2006. UK applications get processed in a parallell universe to applicants from other parts of the world and applications lodged in June 07 are currently being processed - so if you do your medicals and police clearances ( medicals within 2 months of applying as they are taking about 2 months to clear through LCU) , assuming no assurance of support and/or investment is required, your application could take as little as 4 to 5 months. so 12 months is right at the pessimistic end of the spectrum but your agent is trying to cut down on clients chasing progress reports so I can't blame them for quoting you up to 12 months.
