And texas moved max from 24 months to 45 months

Yup and months have been going up steadily for Texas. In my case this could have been avoided if the legal firm had filed on time last year. They not only delayed it but missed filing the i485 which could have been filed concurrently.

That’s awesome OP! The 8 months at the lower end is basically something like approx 50% cases approved at the 8 month mark, and 90% by the higher end
