Since Aug 26, 2011,USCIS.gov says intial review, even after having my biometrics done on 9/21. Is this normal? When do they update there system?

Yes, it's completely normal. The website can be an unreliable means to track your progress (although, unfortunately, it's the only real means available). They update the system when the update the system. Even "touches" on your case might not mean anything. The only truly important documents are received in the mail. Try to be patient (which I know is extremely difficult!).

Good luck.
