If you are in custody, you have to be arraigned within 3 days. It doesn't apply if you are not in custody. Right now, you are waiting for the statute of limitations to run prior to the filing of an accusatory pleading. You don't provide much information, so I cannot tell you which statute of limitations you are waiting on.
