NSLS-II, the new 3rd generation synchrotron light source at Brookhaven National Laboratory can provide high brightness beams with a horizontal emittance of less than one nm and beam currents up to 500 mA. Beam commissioning of the injector and the storage ring was performed in 2014 including commissioning of 12 insertion devices and six beam line frontends. Meanwhile, the storage ring has achieved 300mA of beam current and the small beam emittance of 0.9 nm (horizontal, 12 pm vertical) has been demonstrated. Beam orbits are kept stable within 10 % of the transverse beam size. The machine is very robust and reproducible and has good injection efficiency (>90%) with insertion device gas closed. Operations for the technical and science commissioning of the six beamlines funded within the construction project started in February this year. First user operation occurred during the summer run earlier this year. Since October 2015, the machine is operated in top-off mode.

The presentation will describe the status of the accelerator in detail, will address maturity of operations and provide an outlook on plans for building out the facility.
