USCIS 'myprogress' tab follow along for my I-130

Seeing there are lots questioning the USCIS website timeline and the times being all over the place, some long, some very short....I thought I would make this post to follow along with any updates on what I'm getting in 'myprogress' tab.  The advice given here was that it currently takes about a year for the I130 process.  I'm posting this in hopes that it will help others who were given very short timelines see that it's not always accurate.   I have seen others say that sometimes they can be processed sooner but that doesn't seem to be the usual case.  There's always hope though, right?  Anyway,  as I go along with my application, I will update my data here to keep it current until my I130 is completed.  As you can see, my dates are all over the place.

Not sure I have seen an accurate MyProgress

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

That is what I continue to read every day here, lol.  I thought if I put this out there and keep it up to date, members can see how it really is and help answer their question on that short time.  Mine has been all over the place and I'm not even 2 months in.  As much as I would love that short timeline and get my husband over here, it gives me time to sort my finances out and combine with my mum.

It’s almost completely useless isn’t it ? We never even checked it for 6 months … then the curiosity got the better of me!!

I am over a year waiting as of yesterday 

It's crazy.  You would think it would be somewhat accurate as this is our lives right now.  Families living apart or some trying to get their GC so they can work.  I'm a complete mess not being able to be with my husband and my children cant see their dad.    So much is going to be missed out on on both sides.  21 years of marriage and we have never been apart for so long.  Thinking that it's going to be a year or more before I see him hurts my heart so much right now.  I know it will be worth it in the end and we are over a month in so it's still progress, just need to keep that mindset.  Ticking off the days.

It is completely useless. You can roll a dice and get a better prediction. It's wrong across the board, not just for I-130. People get naturalized and their estimate shows 5 months to decision on the day of oath.

Thank you for posting yours. I bet there is actually something that triggers the date to change, whether it is workflow, other applications getting processed, or background checks being received. Either way there is something triggering it and the more people compare theirs we might find some method to the madness.

The interesting question is why they do it, they must know the information is useless.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

People get anxious when they don't have an idea of how long the process is going to take. This is somewhat similar to earlier versions of Windows. Think of those installation, update estimates or downloading files over phone modem... The estimated time to completion jumped there from few minutes to several hours and back too. It kind of gives a false sense of progress. I'd ditch this feature altogether at USCIS, because the process is so unpredictable.

I do find it interesting too.  Looking at the other timelines shared here, they are all over the place and some change more frequently than others.  Then you have some timelines that don’t move at all.  I would love to know what makes it change when it does and why?  It’s the curiosity in me, lol.

 That’s a great analogy!   I started this thread to show how much timelines jump around.  For my family, we follow the government’s timeline and here on visa journey.   That has changed slightly but well within the range and usually only a week or so difference.  I like that timeline.
