The pending I 129F count is increasing as expected.

The stated goal remains 5 months, even though VSC applicants know how hollow it is.

Also when you click on "Check my status" and you to the bottom to check processing times, it seems they added the National Benefits Center and Nebraska to the count:

Nebraska: https://egov.uscis.g...rd/ProcTimes.do

National Benefits Center: https://egov.uscis.g...rd/ProcTimes.do

------------------------------

The thing to notice however is that both of those centers have a LOOOONG approval/denial periods (37.7months for NBC) and (53.7months for Nebraska), which haven't been used for K-1s in a long time which is why their average processing time is so high while the rest of the centers are 5 months. So those two are factored with the other 3 centers which have 5 months as the goalthrows USCIS's "national average" off by A LOT. I would say they are more or less still on their national goal of 5 months.

Maybe this means they will be using all 5 centers now instead of 2/3 in the near future? Hope so and I hope it speeds up the process.
