That's just a number pulled from someones butt. Its obvious they are processing march, april and beyond. It's total #######...haha

Here are some lines from Q&A's on USCIS site..

How Does USCIS Calculate Posted Processing Times? – A caller noted that there are cases still pending that are beyond the USCIS posted processing times. Can USCIS explain why that might be and the agency’s current efforts to speed up processing times?

USCIS Response on April 15, 2008: Processing times, which are regularly updated on the USCIS website, are an estimate of how long it will take to complete a case. Each case is different, and some cases may take longer to process because of unique fact patterns, documentary requirements, or other requirements.

USCIS received a significant increase in the number of applications filed for this past fiscal year. In July and August of 2007, USCIS received nearly 2.5 million applications and petitions. This compares with 1.2 million applications and petitions received in the same time period for 2006. As a result, average processing times for certain application types filed after June 1, 2007, have become longer.

With the surge in applications, USCIS was initially tasked with eliminating the receipting delay. Since that goal has been met, USCIS is now devoting its resources to improving the processing times. Offices are adding new employees (approximately 1,500 nationwide) and are also increasing the number of shifts in an effort to reduce the backlog as quickly as possible.

Each USCIS office is responsible for determining the most efficient way to process cases within its jurisdiction. While the recent policy modification may help USCIS process some cases immediately, customers should note that other factors (e.g. visa availability, fingerprint clearance) may contribute to a delay in final adjudication of the application.
