yes, that's normal. sometimes it stays in acceptance right until approval. some people have also said that theirs is still in acceptance and they've already received their green card in the mail lol.

interesting question about the biometrics...i did a quick search on vj and found this post that suggested it might be possible: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/331022-can-i-go-to-a-different-uscis-office-for-biometrics/?p=4947718

Does the walk in need to be at the designated field office or can I visit one of my own choice as long as I bring the appointment letter?

Our timeline is more or less the same - and my I-485 is still in acceptance, and the others in review. I haven't received any of the texts/emails that I signed up for, and online it says that the last update was on July 3. I did receive my biometrcis appointment, so maybe after that stuff will start to happen?

AOS from F-1, maintaining status

August 2010 was introduced to each other during a visit in NY.
01/14/2012: Arrived at JFK with F-1 visa with the intention of studying for three years, and then do OPT. Intention was not to get married!
Yet, almost five semesters as a full-time international student later he proposed ...

04/07/2014: Married in Queens, NY

06/26/2014: I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131 and supporting documents sent to Chicago Lockbox via USPS Priority.

06/30/2014: USPS states delivery happened 6:50 am.

07/07/2014: Received NOA of I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765 dated 07/02. --- What a great 3-month anniversary gift!

07/15/2014: Received Biometrics appointment scheduled 07/31, in Long Island City.

07/31/2014: Biometrics done. Process took 45 minutes. 99% was waiting time. Awesome people working there. Good experience!

08/06/2014: Case i-485 updated to Testing & Interview on uscis.gov - - Yay!

08/29/2014: Updates on I-765, card in production as well as I-131.

09/04/2014: Update on I-485, interview scheduled for October 10th, 2014.
09/08/2014: Received combo-card. Went straight to Social Security office to get SSN.
09/15/2014: Received Social security card in mail.
10/10/2014: Interview at Long Island City. Took no more than 10 minutes. Was simple, normal questions. Was approved on spot.

ROC

10/07/2016: USPS stated I-751 was delivered. Also sent in fee waiver request.
10/19/2016: Got everything back, with denied fee waiver. They misspelled my name. Makes me wonder if they even read my application. My name is all over the papers.
10/25/2016: Sent in ROC (I-751) again, with USPS.

10/29/2016: I-751 delivered again.
11/2/2016: Checks cashed
12/16/2016: Biometrics done in LIC, Queens.

I only just got my case numbers, and when I checked it was the same as yours. I-485 in acceptance, the other two in initial review. From what I've read it's common.

Congrats!!! Let's see how each of our cases moves

It will be interesting to see if they let us play catch up! I'm happy that we both finally got confirmation. I'm quite happy to wait now that I know we're in the system somewhere, though the sooner I can work the better :)
