[Scarlet_ 0]

Hey guys. we submitted my AOS on 1st week of dec 2012 and had my bio on 8th of january. I always check my case status on USCIS website but my I-485 is still on ACCEPTANCE STAGE as of today! Same with my ead and ap, they remained at initial review stage. (it has been like tat since i have received my case number) Do I have to be worried or something? Ive seen other Dec 2012 filers having their interview dates or having their case status at USCIS changed atleast. But mine has no changes at all.

I almost wish they would get rid of the on-line stuff as these questions take up a lot of the bandwidth here on VJ. The entire phone system and computer system is unreliable. This means if you call in and ask the first person you talk to any queston they know as much as you as they are looking at the same data source. Ask to speak to an ISO and you may have better luck. The computer system is maintained the same way. Some times items get updated and some times they do not as the immigration system is paper based and not computer based. This means someone has to check a box that the item got done and then someone has to enter that checked box into the computer. Would you want the process to go any slower just to get the on-line system updated in a timely fashion? I would rather the lock box accepts the petition or application and scan all the documents into a computer program that then assigns the work truly based on first in first out (FIFO) and when the decision is made the program updates the website and on-line system.

Sorry for the ramble but the entire process is run like it is the 1970s and computers still use punch cards and there are so many things that could be done to improve the process. So the answer to your question is this is normal and you may receive your GC long before the website status changes.

Good luck,

Dave
