I understand the desire to know how long you will have to wait for a decision, but the truth is there is no way anyone can answer that question. You can read the timeline threads on this forum, but the processing time for people who are getting decisions now says nothing about how long it will take your application.
When I applied in April, people who had applied in January and February were getting decision letters—so they only had to wait 2-3 months. My application took almost 4 months from the date of application to the date I received the decision letter. Some people who applied before I did had to wait almost five months (and some are still waiting, as far as anyone knows). There are also always a few unlucky people whose applications take longer than the 6 month service standards, regardless of how fast applications are generally being processed.
