No, I did because I moved here from another state. It's just that the estimated wait time has not updated since then so I don't know how accurate it is.

All right April filers!! A bit of good news here

I ve been watching this thread since April 15 when I filed my N-400. I have received my receipt notice the same day (I filed online) but since then nothing has changed until today when I decided to check my USCIS website then I read the following:

 

NOTICE TO APPLICANT:  

 

Biometric Reuse

 

U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has received your form and is currently processing your application, petition, or request. This noticeinforms you that USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and useyour biometric data as in the past, however, it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometricsappointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded.
USCIS is continuing to process your application, petition, or request. USCIS will contact you in writing if any additional information is necessary to resolveyour case.
This notice is not an approval of your pending application, petition, or request.

 

So things are moving forward, I should emphasize that my local office is in Cleveland, the fastest local processing center in the nation.

What application was your previous biometrics for and when did you get those biometrics?

 

I got N-400 NOA 4/21 NYC, no biometrics scheduled and no updates except expected time went from December 2020 to January 2021

wow that's really crazy

I had bio's done green card renewal in the past 2 years, if they gave you 6 years I have to think 2 years will be OK

I think it all depends on your local field office location. Field offices in some states have been historically faster in processing applications compared to other. Just hang in there.

If there are going to reuse the fingers print. How can we get the materials to study? Did anyone know what the interview contains exactly?
I mean what is the expectation. Is there any paperwork that needs to be ready in advance as (taxes, marriage, divorce decree) any other paper?


Thanks

One person said they are going to reuse the finger prints.  It does not mean that it will be the same for everyone.

A good place to study is the following:

They can ask anything, for example if u r married but u didn’t submit ur marriage certificate or child birth certificate or combine Tax filling, or combine apartment lease agreement.... even if u didn’t submit u can still upload them online by going to ur USCIS Account....but if u submit all these things already u need not to worry ......u should prepare for other general questions like what does American constitution says....u should be well prepared for these questions....There are lot of information available on YouTube regarding interview preparation... try to prepare atleast 50-100 different type of question.

I strongly suggest you hire an attorney to guide you through the process.
