Please are these official timelines beinhg quoted on here, or timelines based on people's recent experiences? I ask cos I know I heard some impressing stories from various visa offices about significantly faster processing times for "complete" packages with lots of supporting documentary evidence (spousal sponsorship), eg Accra. That is my VO and I like to stay positive and "cling" to people's positive experiences as opposed to the dreadfully depressing timelines stated on the CIC website!

Berlin went from 13 to 9 months!  Although I hear lots of people are getting through in less time than that too.
