Biometrics was super quick. Appointment was at 10 AM, go there at 9:45 - 4 people ahead of me. I was done by 10:02 and had an email that said "We Have Taken Action on Your Case" before I even got to my car in the parking lot.

Congratulations...Next stop is citizenship...N-400s don't typically take long...USCIS is still up to their tricks of skewing I-751 processing times by processing some I-751 immediately while others have to wait several years even with no RFEs.
