When does one know or recieve NOA from USCIS of the exact interview date after filing N400 online ... is it after NOA for biometrics that they send another NOA for interview date or do they let you know in the NOA immdiately after filing online or does one recieve NOA a few weeks after filing N400 of their biometrics with exact interview date... that way its easy if there are any emergency international trips that may come up if you have exact interview date given by USCIS...

My wife filed N-400 online on Aug 7, 2022.  They re-used biometrics.  She received notification on Nov 9th, 2022, that her interview would be on December 14th, 2022.    I think that sequence is pretty common.  

 

The only notification immediately after filing was re-use of biometrics and "Your case is being actively reviewed".

None. 
After biometrics, your case will be under “actively being reviewed “. Could be days, weeks, months. Totally contingent upon your local field office.

If it’s an emergency international trip, and you don’t have the interview date yet, you should buy refundable tickets. Or pay the penalty for changing them if they give you the interview date after you buy them. Your call.
