USCIS processing Times

I-130 (Standalone)

Question for clarification. I saw the I-130 processing time was initially projected to be 4 months until it would be completed when I had filed (In February). It's saying 9 months for the last month (march/may). Is this change in time frame indicative of anything. I'm also not sure which center this is being processed, if anyone has any clues into that

ignore it. mine was 5 months initially, went to 3 months and then to 9 months.

but got approval in a total of just 3 months finally.

I-130 processing time that appears when checking through USCIS is not accurate, there can be 2 weeks left and then change to 6 mo like in my case, you should check the processing times relevant to your service center (from 10 - 16 months). Service office should be stated in your Notice of receipt from USCIS, you should be able to download it if you have access to your USCIS acct.

Thanks, I see my prefix in the receipt as IOE, is it just electronically being processed then, rather than at physical place? Appreciate it
