london is NOT taking 29 months. please go to the london thread and read the information provided on their spreadsheet about this. a) the times posted are not averages, b) the time posted reflects pakastani applications sent to london NOT UK citizens. do NOT apply inland because you think it'll take 29 months through london. that would be a big mistake and you will pretty much hate yourself. RIGHT NOW, UK citizens are getting approved in 8-10 months, and small sampling are even fast tracked in 3-4 months.

Appropriate links in my signature.

The Spreadsheet link has a big red box on the cover page that explains the 29 month thing.

The FAQ link has a question called "How long will it take" which further explains it.

rhcohen is correct. Applications that get sent to London are taking 8-10 months. Applications that get sent to Ottawa are more like 6-7 months. Applications that get held in Mississauga are more like 3-4 months.

It's a no-brainer if you ask me.
