Hey! Quick question.. We filed for the Adjustment of Status on August 13, and then received a conformation that they received it! (Yays!)

We also got a biometrics appointment for September 5th, which we went too and then on October 19th we received his EAD Card, which is also extremely exciting,

but the actual adjustment is still stuck on the "Acceptance" stage, This just seems like it's taking forever for the Initial Review phase, I haven't gotten an RFE suggesting I'm missing anything.

I guess my question is, is it normal for this process to take this long? I know I've seen cases of it taking much longer than 4 months, but should I just continue to wait or should I call the USCIS and

start looking into the progress of our case?

The fact that it is stuck in the Acceptance stage is normal, it happens to everybody. This is regularly asked on this forum.

You filed quite recently, speaking in USCIS-waiting-time. Some people have got their cases approved after a year... No need to call for now, it's too early.

The good thing is that, as you filed after August 1st, your case can't be transferred to CSC where the waiting time was long. Your case will either stay at NBC and be processed without an interview, or be sent to your local USCIS office for an interview.

The next update you will have will either be:

- RFE

- interview scheduled

- case approved.

The main answer to your topic is: WAIT. :)

Lol! I like to say I'm patiently waiting but in reality it's impatiently waiting! Thanks so much! Makes me feel a whole lot better! It's also good news that I filed after August 1st then! I had no idea that they would do that, but I'm glad I was fortunate enough to catch the right date for a no transfer :)

Thanks again!!

Yeap, good news on the no transfer to CSC, mine went there, and I waited a whole 240 days for approval. Sit tight, relax, and wait wait wait, after all, you should be a pro at waiting by now innocent.gif

Fingers crossed it doesn't take as long as if it would go to CSC.
