Well, it will be exactly 5 months in one week, and when I try to track it online it still says "Acceptance" phase. I figured by now it might have moved on to the next phase, since the estimated timeline (from K-1, I 485) is roughly 5 months (from what i've read on various forums).

That said, when I look at the time estimator, there is no option to choose "National Benefits Center" to input into the tracker.

At what point should I call them? Do we just keep waiting for now and give it more time?

The online system will just say acceptance until it is approved. There is nothing to do but wait. It can take 6-9 months. You have your EAD and AP I presume so you can live normally in the meantime.

Yes, we have EAD and AP. Just anxious to see some movement on the I-485. Wish there was a way to enter NBC into the tracking/time estimate tool, but I guess not.

Thanks to all for the tips/advice
