Would the geostatic step be considered correct if it converges in more than 1 increment?

Abaqus manual has stated that usually geostatic step must converge in 1 increment. But would it be considered correct if geostatic step converges in more than 1 increment like 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 s? The displacements are very low and stresses are also correct at the end of analysis.
