How long does USCIS take to approve 212(e) waiver?

Hi all,

I have applied for my J-1 2 yr hrr waiver based on No Objection. My timeline is this:

Received favorable rec from DoS on August 23rd.

Received I-797 from USCIS, I-612 accepted by VSC on August 28th.

However, USCIS website still shows "Case accepted by USCIS lockbox".

I read that for most other instances (especially on or before 2016), USCIS would just approve the waiver within 3 weeks tops. Did the situation change this year somehow, that they are taking so long?

FYI I called USCIS multiple times, and their reply is always the same: it is still processing.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or do you share roughly the same timeline as me?
