they didn't increase processing time. It simply shows time taken to process 80% of the cases in last 6 months or something(don't know how they calculate it, whether they add time for a case that was taken in Pakistan also)or it's only showing whatever even backlogged files took in LVO) but from what I see here on this forum it seems to me that they are processing files in a lot less time than 29 months. So maybe next time when they update timeline, it can possibly show 8-9-10 months or whatever which would mean that cases they are working on right now took 8-9-10 months.
hope this makes sense.
I would say don't go by that time frame but rather try to look at the time line spreadsheets some of our new & old forum members shared about how long most of our cases are taking
Cheers
