How long does it take to get the decree nisi?

Can anyone help me get my head around the divorce process?

My STBXH sat on the acknowledgment of service form for a bit (grrr), but the court must have got it around Easter. I've not heard anything since and I'm starting to feel a little concerned that he didn't sign it or is contesting it or...

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the court to send the next forms out to the petitioner (me)?

And how long it's likely to take for the decree nisi to come through after that?

I know I must sound impatient - I guess I am! I just want to be able to move on.

Familylawsolicitor you said it can take about 2 months from processing decree nisi to pronounce it in court, my decree nisi was sent on 28.8, got to the judge on 17.9, didn't hear anything from them yet. Did you mean it can be 2 months from the date judge got it, for me 17.11? Very sorry for not understanding. Thank you so much for answer.
