Mine just changed to completion in July 2021, I believe it was October before. 

 And back to October 2021.

Y'all keep checking this everyday?? Lol

I filed last May and I think last time i checked it says June. Just leave it and wait for when the actual date comes. I don't bother to check anymore.

No, I check every now and then because I filed in September and haven't had biometrics yet.

haha yes, i didn’t check for the first a few months. I’ve been checking everyday for almost two months now. It’s my morning routine while I drink my morning coffee and read the news before I start my day. I think i secretly and naively hope that somehow my frequent login will trigger them to process my app sooner. I know i am talking wishful thinking nonsense. But it takes 1 minute to do it. so I don’t mind. 

 

It’s weird right before i wrote this reply i just checked the second time in one day. I noticed something i didn’t earlier. I RECEIVED a bio reuse letter yesterday, the same day that the estimated completion date changed and pushed 3 months further.  I hope it’s a sign that i will get scheduled for interview soon.

When was the last time you did a biometrics that they are now able to re-use it?

Filed late October 2020 and got the biometrics reuse notice online yesterday. Besides the waiting game what comes next ? My estimated timeline also jumped from August to November 2021

When did you file? I got my reuse notice yesterday too.

Just checked by status, and found that I had a biometrics reuse letter in my documents folder dated Feb 12.  I applied for my N400 in April 2020, and last did biometrics back in 2014 (for removal of Green Card Conditions). Current target date for completion shows as May 2021. 

 

I smiled when I also noticed that they stated in the letter that there wouldn't be a refund of the biometric fee!

Interview tomorrow, anyone know is this done on video chat or through plexiglass? Did the officer ask you vocab questions from the yes/no section?

It is not video. And vocab questions depends on your interviewer. I was scared they ll ask my dad 3wks ago as well, but the interviewer was easy on him. Goodluck.
