CB appears to have taken my advice and gone off to pack. But I think I
might know the answer (but she'll correct me, regardless). The 12 week
estimate was over the consular phone line, which I think is actually a
call center based somewhere outside London. CB got a "form" response,
which was actually a range, with 12 weeks as the outside date.
Obviously things are happening much faster than that! CB herself thought
the Embassy would respond quickly, and they did.
