How long does it take to get a decree nisi?

After filing for a 2 year separation divorce online that both parties consent to, what is a typical wait to get to decree nisi stage?

I appreciate this may vary from court to court.

I can't remember exactly, but it took maybe 2-3 weeks, not more than that from applying for decree nisi to getting a date for it. The date is about 3 weeks from now. This was an online divorce using the government website.

So, in case it wasn't clear from the above, a total of perhaps 5-6 weeks from application to pronouncement. Probably more like 5, but I'm feeling a bit too lazy to check the exact dates (sorry, but it's been a fraught day). Surprisingly quick, I thought.

Not long at all. Once the respondent had responded they wrote to me with a date a few weeks out where the nisi would be heard in court.

After that they have written to tell me what is the earliest date I can apply for my absolute

Took five months at Bury St Edmunds Court earlier this year. It was unreasonable behaviour but it took five weeks to get an acknowledgement that the papers had been received let alone gone in front of the judge.
