If the office is processing a particular type of visa application (including H1B processing) in less time than the processing time goal, you will see the latest processing times expressed in months (for example, if the office is processing a visa application in less than a 5 month goal, the processing time will state "Five Months").
However, if that office is taking longer than the visa processing time goal (including H1B processing) to handle the visa form type in question, you will see the filing date (e.g., "April 10, 2003") of the last case that was processed on the date the chart was last updated.
