Family-based I-485 processing time has gone from 24 months to 32 months for Montgomery, Alabama.  Has anyone else seen similar increases at your field office?

San Jose, CA got a bit of a bum from 24 to 25. San Francisco, CA seem to have increased as well (can't remember previous number but I don't think it was 36 months). I didn't realize that they update the numbers at the middle of the month too (always checked on the first).

 

These moving targets are not encouraging.

Ours has not been changed in Boston, Massachusetts. Although, I haven't seen any progress in my case. But 24 to 32 for a less populated state like Alabama is absolutely a bummer. I hope you'll see a progress on your case soon.
