INS Website has absurd numbers

[pbondre]

I was checking the status of my case on the INS web site

RD: Aug 2001
I got an RFE in November 2002
They received my RFE response in December

However the status on the INS web site says:
On December 04, 2002, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between 450 and 480 days for us to process this kind of case. However, because preliminary processing was complete before we requested the additional material, the remaining processing time for this stage of your case is approximately 480 days. You will receive a written decision on this case.

I know that after receiving the RFE it take about a month or two to get the 485 approvals. Does anybody know as to why INS has such absurd number as 480 days for this ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. How long after the INS receives the RFE response does it take to get the 485 approval?

That's a standard message INS posts after RFE. There is nothing unusual in that but in practice, they would decide on the case very soon (around 2 to 3 months) after receiving response to RFE. It could be an approval or transfer to local INS office.
