is the case going fast or is it regular time?

we filed I-130 on November 17th, (online) and sent the rest of the package (I485, I131) on 02/07/24, I have EAD so at first I didn't send it but researching I learned I should have sent it with the I1485 package due to the category, my EAD current category is C08. the case was received and in less than a week I got the first RFE and biometric scheduled, I did the biometrics and I've been waiting since 02/29 that the status changed to the case is actively reviewed by USCIS. I just thought of sharing. also, I sent the i765 with a letter explaining why I didn't send it before and they added it to my portal and got a notice of Biometric reused.
