I-130 immediate relative(spouse)

Hi everyone hope you are having a good day. To who those have experiences and knowledge. I wanted to ask about my case to see where am in-terms of wait time.

As a U.S citizen, i applied for my wife (i-130) on April26 2024. And at that time the wait time was 14.5 months, also thats what google AI says even today lol!. Now days it officially went up to 17 months at Uscis website, selecting the category (i130, married to US citizen). However, just under that there is date selection option to check when can you contact USCIS about your case. By putting april 26 2024 (date of filing) it says do not contact us before feb of 2026!!. That brings two years of wait time for a U.S CITIZEN SPOUSE!!!. I assume their system is just not accurate when it comes to timeline. Also i added bona-fied marriage proof about a month ago (13 months after a filing date) just as an extra proof, thinking it may help them to adjudicate the case little faster, my ‘my progress’ tab timeline went up from 7 months to 20 months!!😱. This may not be true and system generated estimate but this is terrible system, it creates confusion and anxiety. Anyway, thank you for reading my message and your opinions would be appreciated, god bless all.
