Hi,
I am a citizen and my spouse is a Indian born British citizen. I've just put in an outland sponsorship application for him. 
Does anyone know what the processing timeframe looks like as of now
	
		
			
		
		
	
				
			 
			
			 
			
				
			
		
		
			
	
		
	
		
		
	 
										
										
											
    
	
										
										
											
	
										
									
								 
								
									
								
								
									
    
	
								
							 
						
					 
				
			 
		
	
	
	
					
					
				
	
		
			
		
		
	
	
		
			
		
		
	
					
					
						
	
	
	
	
	
	
			
				
			
		
		
			
				
					
				
				
					
						
							
								
									
          
	
								
								
									
										
											
	
	
	
										
										
											
	
	
	
		
		
			
				
			
			
			
				
					
	
		
			
		
		
	
Approximately 12 months, for 80% of complete, 'normal' applications.

If you want to see some real life timelines, check the spreadsheet link in my signature line.  Your spouse will be applying as a British citizen (where he was born matters a lot less).  IF your pack is ultimately sent to London Visa Office (likely), then yes, bank on 12 months.  IF it is sent to Mississauga, then maybe 6 months or less.  There is nothing you can do to influence which VO they send it to for processing.  Bottom line is bank on 12 months and be pleased if it is less.

Would I be notified of the location of the VO processing my application?

Yes, that is part of the process.  They will normally tell you which VO they are sending it to after 'sponsor approval'.
