Can you add your updates to the timeline spreadsheet? It is a lot more useful there, also makes it easier to track and reference.
 
Same situation. 35 days of package received by HARPER. No notifications, no cashed out. I have been wondering what is the longest wait time people have had to wait for the notification/receipt number.
This is why updating the timeline spreadsheet helps everyone. The information will be readily available if everyone bother to update the spreadsheet as soon as they start their AOS journey as against waiting until they actually finish or not even bothering to add their own timeline while using the spreadsheet at the same time to gather information about others.
 
I've been waiting 50 days since my NoA and haven't received either a bio letter or interview letter. At least one other person in the same FO has their interview letter, and their NoA was almost a month after mine. I asked USCIS for a Tier 2 callback, and I'm expecting that in around 2 weeks.

Should I wait before contacting a congressperson, or would it be ok to go ahead anyway and ask for help even though I'm waiting on USCIS to call me back?
Considering someone else from your FO, who filed almost one month after you already received their IL, I think you should go ahead and initiate a congressional inquiry at this point, even though you're still waiting for the Tier 2 agent to call you back.
 
Hey, 6 weeks here, Philly seems to be extremely slow :( If we do not hear anything this week we're likely to start a congressional inquiry next week... I'm wondering whether two simultaneous inquiries ( if you consider one too) could reinforce each other and speed things up...
Going by the timeline of another Philly filer who waited roughly 4 1/2 to 5 months from when the NOA was received till when IL was received, your FO appears to be a slow one indeed. So yes, you may need to escalate things in the next one to two weeks if there's no update on your case. Contacting your congress person and senator for case follow up assistance is a very bad idea, highly frowned upon. You should pick one to start with.

Got it, thanks! Sorry for the confusion I meant two parallel inquiries from me and @Bankrupt Pilot to the congressperson not like me reaching both a congressperson and a senator.

Mom if you don’t mind me asking, what is the difference between both ? Is one more helpful than the other ?
 
How long the back ground check gonna take? Few days or weeks? Is it check abroad or in the USA?
There's a summary of the background check process in the AOS Process Spreadsheet (see link to spreadsheet in the first post on Page 1 of this thread - once in the spreadsheet, look for the tab titled Background Check).

Background check timing will be different for everyone, I assume anywhere from weeks to months. Some checks can only be completed once they've taken your biometrics too. If the background checks reveal anything they want to investigate further, the process will obviously take longer. I believe they can check overseas records too.
