My case completion is now showing as 3 months - November 2019, how is this possible, I am a  NYC filer. Admittedly expecting for the date to go up any day now.

@Mike Bico - I had the same issue. I think it is a technical glitch with the application attaching itself to your profile. The good news is that it has no effect on case processing. This morning I received my first update, "Biometrics scheduled," and now I have access to all the relevant case information. I guess the update served as a system refresh of sorts. I say the same is likely for you.  

 

Actually now it shows my case history and other info. I dont see the Biometrics Apt letter in the Documents yet (it says it may take few days to show online). I am waiting to get it via mail.

It is just a suggestion, but you really might find using this shared Google Sheet to track our cases a lot easier than copy/pasting that table over and over. Reduces the chance of data being lost too. Just click on the N-400 August 2019 Filers sheet, fill in your into once and update in one place. No tables required. :3

That's awesome! I was looking for a fellow NY filer. From what borough/county are you if you don't mind me asking.

Just got back from biometrics, did a walk-in at the Bronx location. 

I'm in the Bronx, so I'm under the jurisdiction of the Federal Plaza location. 

Also, my estimated completion went up to 10 months, and now 9 months after biometrics.
