I went to https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant# , found under N400 "documents" all the notices they sent to me:
 
Biometric Reuse
Sent on October 22, 2020
Receipt Notice
Sent on September 16, 2020
 
They are going to reuse the biometric from my I751. finally some progress.

Just had my interview at the Boston office. It went well and my case was recommended for approval. I arrived way before the appointment time, like 40 minutes prior, but noone checked and I was able to wait inside.
The officer was very nice and he just asked me about my application, the standard yes/no questions and 6 civics questions. I also had to write a sentence and read a sentence out.
I had trouble hearing him with his mask on! I had to ask him to repeat almost everything, it was pretty embarrassing!
He did not ask to see any additional documents nor the originals of what I had submitted earlier (thank god, because we lost my husband's birth certificate!) 
Overall, it was a pleasant and smooth experience. Just checked online and it says my Oath will be scheduled, so hopefully that will be soon. I have also asked for a name change.
Good luck to everyone!
 

I had my naturalization interview today in Lawrence MA. N-400 based on 3 years marriage. the IO approved my application on spot and I took my oath same day so I’m officially a US citizen now but my thoughts and prayers for the ones that are still waiting.
 
I had the best experience today in Lawrence field office. My officer was a wonderful  person, she was very friendly and smart. We had a really nice conversation about different topics.
 
 She first started with the reading and writing using a tablet, then asked me 6 questions. She only asked for my Greencard. We went quickly through the yes/no questions.
When I was waiting I thought it’s going to be a difficult one but instead it was a very smooth procedure. 


Good luck!! 
 

interesting.. I noticed that there was no "cancelled" oath ceremony for October - for previous months they would just cancel it.

i wonder if they do ceremonies in some other fashion / place 🤔.  
 

No updates for me.
But I just checked the estimated time range for SJ office and it's changed from 11-29 months to 12-24 months. 
It's good news I think...
I also saw a N400 May filer on reddit that got his/her biometrics appointment scheduled too.

Biometrics appointment rescheduled for November 12, after two inquiries through the Inbox function online. Now I just hope that the appointment letter will show up online soon, not sure if snail mail will reach me in time. 

Hello Visajourney fam,
 
I have a citizenship interview scheduled for Nov 6th in the morning, in San Francisco, and I wonder if they provide same day oath ceremonies ? Any experience with the SF field office? Thank you 

Got my interview scheduled for December 7th !!!!! 🤩
 
Since I got my estimated time updated to April 2021 after my biometrics, I wasn't even expecting it and missed seeing my notice for the interview for 7 days! 🤦‍♀️ ......LOL!! 😂
 
I am so excited to get this done ahead of time! I will pick up the pace on studying!! 🤓
 
Does anyone know how much time after the interview, is the oath ceremony scheduled?
 
Best of luck of everyone!!!

did you ask for a service request?

Finally got a notice of biometrics reuse! At least it's something other than silence!

So, I did my interview today in Baltimore was approved and had my oath ceremony a few hours later.

Me too!  December 03 2020! 
Also West Palm Beach 🙂 

I just got my interview appointment on December 03/2020.
 

I just received a notice that my interview has been scheduled, but no date yet.

I don't usually write in groups, but regarding USCIS we never have clear information about how the processing time is going even more during this time of covid that everything slowed down.
My USCIS office is West Palm Beach, FL
 
-I sent my application on February 25/2020
-was received on February 26/2020
-appointment for biometrics on March 17/2020
-7 months of silence from USCIS
- (as a miracle today October 22/2020 ) I receive electronic notification, they have scheduled an interview for naturalization -- I don't know what the date of the interview is, but it is usually 2 or 3 weeks ahead.
 
I hope my case helps you get a better idea of how the processing times are at the Palm Beach office.

My bio appointment has been finally rescheduled for November 16!

If only we'd gotten the stupid biometrics before the shutdown. 
 
I read on a different thread that s/o who filed in May or June got biometrics-brand new, not rescheduled, at the Chicago office.
 
Btw, I am a mid March filer. I just figured that the April thread is close to mine --sorry about that. 
I'm based in KCMO. 

Can you please create your timeline on the website? Thank you I also suggest following the March N400 group. 

Sharing some updates in case it may help..

My naturalization interview is scheduled at Lawrence, MA, on 11/17 at 7.30 am. Also, in the letter, they mentioned the processing would take about two hours.
Thanks, guys, for the useful posts about the interview.
It's time to start for the preparation.

So I am finally done, I became a US Citizen on Oct 9th. Too late to register to vote in my state. I applied for a passport the same day, and based on current backlogs I am supposed to get it by the end of the year. With the passport application I had to send the original of the naturalization certificate. So right now I have no proof of citizenship and cannot update my status with the SSA, but I guess I can live with that. It feels good to have made it, good luck to everyone!

hello, yes. I called them on Monday. so, they sent a request/reminder to the office that 90 days passed. The San Jose office has to schedule the appointment. they also said that it might take the office 15-30 business days to reply on the request. we will see what happens. 

I just got scheduled for my interview in the Boston office! It will be on November 3rd, election day. Pretty excited

Finally after 7 months  
 
filled my N400 March 9th 2020 , Philadelphia 
 
biometric appointment  was 4/3/2020 canceled due to Covid 
 
Sent like 10 emails to them and nothing .
 
walked-in to the center after they reopen and didn't let me in  

 
Dear MOUSSA

Thank you for your inquiry dated September 28, 2020.
 
 
Requesting information about your N-400, Application for Naturalization.
 
USCIS systems indicate that on October 05,2020, we created and mailed you an Application Support Center (ASC) Appointment Notice. You may also view and print a copy of your USCIS ASC Appointment Notice within your USCIS online filing system account.

Got an email this morning that Testing and Interview scheduled. Don't know the date yet and hopefully by tonight the document tab would be loaded with the notice.
