How long should I wait before making a status inquiry on my amended application?

For amended applications, it’s generally advised to wait before making a status inquiry. According to MPEP 203.08:

Amended applications are expected to be taken up by the examiner and an action completed within two months of the date the examiner receives the application. Accordingly, a status inquiry is not in order after reply by the attorney until 5 or 6 months have elapsed with no response from the Office.

However, if six months have passed without a response, it’s advisable to inquire about the application’s status to avoid potential abandonment. Applicants are encouraged to use Patent Center or Private PAIR for status inquiries.
