Does the 24-30 month processing projection apply to both RIR and TR cases or will the RIR queue get some preference?

According to the Labor Department:

No queue will automatically get preference. We plan to allocate resources based on the number of cases in each queue. However, we anticipate that the processing time for RIR cases will be shorter that that for TR cases.
