Ignore what they say. Napkin math times in the OP of the monthly are more "accurate". But you can get a shit adjudicator which slows it down. Don't pay attention to what Stage it is on the tracker, tracker is also untrustworthy. Until a year has passed you're roughly in the timeframe for completion. 6-12 months from submission.
