Hello! We filed our taxes 3/4 accepted the same day. Today when I checked the status is gave me this message:Refund Status Results
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.
We are overseas, calling the states is expensive and hard. I called yesterday and they told me to call after Sunday which wpuld be the 21st day after being accepted. I'm just really concerned, if there's something wrong why can't we know right away to make the correction? Btw no letters as of yesterday

No, this is not bad, it is completely normal while the IRS is processing your return. The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-filed return has been accepted. If there is anything needed or if your return is rejected, you will be notified. As of right now, from what you show above this is all normal processing. There are some things I have listed below that can account for longer processing time by the IRS.
The IRS updates every 24 hours so keep an eye on your status, you should see an update soon.
Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:
Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.
Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.
For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit)
Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:
Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.
