Are these estimated timelines true? Is those the times were suppose to hear for an approval?

The estimated timelines are pretty accurate.  I had a Priority Date of Jan 5th.  My estimate in my timeline kept going up and down but the last one i had said between July 5th to 19th.  I received my NOA2 approval on July 6th of this month.  182 days i think it was from NOA1 to NOA2.

The two lines doesn’t mean anything, i think it’s more like when they update their website. My PD was April 27, and I have two lines since last week! I don’t believe someone is already reviewing mine. But Texas is doing January now and Nebraska

i think December still. Best of luck for everyone. Congratulations to those got approvals.
