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:
