Why USCIS's own case page shows a different time
This is USCIS's median: half of the cases it finished in a quarter took less time than this. Its processing-times page prints a different figure, the time within which it finished 80% of recent cases, so it reads longer. Both are USCIS's, and the hub sets them side by side for the I-140.
