Case Processing Time Conflict?

Case Processing Time Conflict?

Hello,

I am a US citizen petitioning my adult child (over the age of 21) in the Philippines to come to the USA.

I am curious why the online account says the case is taking longer than expected to process when the USCIS website says the case is processing normally. Should I ignore what the online account says?

Here is a data dump for reference:

Last time I checked the online account was Feb 10, 2024 and it says “Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You will be notified if you need to take any action.”

I wouldn't worry too much about when the petition gets approved, at this time you have at least 8 more years wait before a visa is available for your child and if he/she gets married before then, it will be 10 years more. Some people don't see movement on the petition until 2-3 years before the priority date becomes current so you are well within normal timelines.
