I got it 3 days later. actually I had no idea that I'd been issued a reuse notice until Sunday night. It had been issued right before the weekend. and then on Monday morning I logged in to double check that I still had reuse on my documents only to find interview scheduled notice. 

I would have not thought to check my account if I hadn't seen the Reddit. I had signed up for text and email alerts and got neither!

thanks but your answer has nothing to do with my question

That’s the current processing time. Count that time from when you filed your N-400 and that is, approximately, when you will receive your interview. Interview notices are usually sent around a month before the actual date. 
 

If you want a more accurate answer on when you will receive your interview notice, you will need to get a crystal ball.

I hear you. I was mainly asking people to share their timeline, if they ALREADY received reuse notice and interview notice.

I see so many people asking this same question and it continues to baffle me.  Others' timelines has ZERO impact on your or anyone else's filing.  You and someone else could file on the very same day, have the same local office, and receive biometrics reuse notices on the same day, yet your interview could be the same day, or weeks, or months apart.

 

There is absolutely no information to be gleaned from gathering data from other filers.  It will end up giving you false hope (of a quick resolution on your case) or unnecessary frustration (if someone else takes a lot longer to receive an interview) as you might get yours a lot sooner.

 

There are just far too many variables and unexplained randonmess to USCIS processing.  That's all @JFH and @igoyougoduke were trying to say with their response.

lol why do people share the timeline then? even yourself is posting your own timeline under your own post, and then you say "There is absolutely no information to be gleaned from gathering data from other filers. "

I add in the information in case folks want the data.  But the data is going to be useless is all I'm saying.  What you choose to do with the data is your prerogative.  You asked for an estimate on when you should expect to receive an interview notice and folks responded with the correct answer of there is no way to accurately tell that.

people share their timelines for the math nerds who want to crunch the numbers and make sure they can figure USCIS puzzle using quantum analysis. Only thing USCIS is operating in 1960's mode with type writer and chalk boards and dial up technology
