No update on biometrics for over a year

Hello,

I filed my N-400 in October 2019 in San Francisco, and went to the biometrics appointment at the end of that month.
I've seen that other people's case statuses have a "We reviewed your biometrics" entry shortly after the appointment, but it hasn't shown up for me.
Should I be concerned?

Here are the details:
10/10/2019 We received your form N-400
10/12/2019 We scheduled you for a biometrics appointment
10/01/2020

The big card at the top says: "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS - As of October 31, 2019, we are actively reviewing your Form N-400".

Thanks!

COVID Delay and N-400 are lowest priority.

Thanks for your response.

I understand the COVID delay, but this was back in October 2019, and it seems like most people get an update a few days/weeks after that says "We reviewed your biometrics".

In other words I'm worried that something might have gone wrong before COVID.

i filed in Feb but only got Biometrics appointment in October. As usual Bay Area big backlog.

 

It seems their priority for biometrics is in the order below

 

EAD/Advance parole

Visit visa extension

Adjustment of status applicants

Removal on Conditions

Naturalization.

To clarify, I did go to the biometrics appointment on 10/31/2019, I just don't see a confirmation that they've reviewed it.

Your case is unusually delayed. I'm sure you may have contacted USCIS to get updates. You may also reach out to your elected officials to do an inquiry on your behalf. That can induce a movement to your case.

 

Good luck.

This is the standard after biometrics completion, and will remain that way until you are scheduled for an interview. SF is always slow and more so after Covid. I waited a year for an interview pre Covid, my husband also filed Oct 2019 and still has the same status as you. Don’t get panicked by those above clearly luckier to be at faster FOs!!! Nothing has gone wrong, it’s just a slow office. Processing times website is currently showing well over a year for N400 processing at SF.
