There are many factors. There is no standard answer. JimVaPhuong stated it pretty clearly, here is his reply

Incoming petitions are put into boxes in the order they are received. Those boxes are placed on shelves in chronological order. Adjudicators pull the next box on the shelf to work on. After that, things can quite easily get out of sync. Yes, some adjudicators are faster than others. More often, an adjudicator pulls a box with a number of difficult and time consuming cases in it, which slows downs processing of the other cases in that box. Sometimes, your case is one of those difficult cases. For example, they might get a hit on a name in a law enforcement database. This might mean they have to take more time to investigate and determine if you're the same Jane Doe who was convicted of shooting a bank teller in an armed robbery 10 years ago. Since USCIS isn't forthcoming with the information, you might never know why your case is taking longer than others.

This is one of the best answers I have seen

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I think this one of the most asked and perplexing questions on this site. Yes the above answer is good, but has some flaws too. Hadr to believe that at the same some service center people are at 7 months and then one goes through in 83 days--it is like one falls on the floor and someone picks it up :rofl: it is a question that will never be fully answered in my opinion.

Some heretics believe the thicker the filing, the longer it takes. Those of us that put this theory to the test and filed lean, generally had our applications adjudicated ahead of most of our peer group. Food for thought.

Being a numbers junkie, I think they push some through really quick to keep the average down. I would like to see their standard error bardevil.gif
