I have a priority date of 07/31/2017 (initial application) my receipt number also starts with IOE and it was routed to CSC (California Service Center).
I just checked USCIS website and it looks like they are currently on cases that were submitted prior to 03/01/2017, lets just stay positive and pray they will soon get to us, initial applications may take longer than usual.
The first time i applied was on 03/2013 and they denied my application on 09/2014.
I can tell you those were the worst 19 months of my life, however this time around i made sure to submit everything the appropriate way. With that been said don't worry if you consulted with your attorney, everything was submitted correctly with supporting documentation, and you have a clean record, is just a matter of time.
