Update: I got the letter today saying that indeed the biometrics were re-used.

They re-used my biometrics for N-400 when I applied in September of last year. I do know a couple of people who still had to do biometrics for their N-400, so it'####### or miss. 

Thanks. I guess I'm just wondering if I got a waiver because I got already the status post biometrics even tho I did not get a biometrics appointment yet.

Hi all, 

I applied yesterday for my N-400 process, and in less than 24 hours, the status went from: We received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and mailed you a receipt notice to We are actively reviewing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. Our records showed nothing is outstanding at this time.

I noticed that most people see a biometrics appointment between. Does it mean I got a biometics waiver? I got my I-751 approved a few months ago where I got the biometics waived.

Hey all,

 

I received an interview notice today for my I-751 for March 30. It will be a combined interview along with my N-400. I received two separate interview notices for the same day and time for both applications.

Great news! Best of luck.

Hey all, 

 

I still have yet to hear anything about my I-751. It is still stuck on "Fingerprints applied."

 

However, I received notification that my interview for my N-400 was scheduled today.

 

I am not sure if they will process my I-751 during that interview because I applied for my N-400 based on military service, and for military based N-400s, an approved ROC is not required.

 

We will see. 

Good luck! That was probably that walk-in biometrics that sped it up; it seems to me that N-400 interviews are scheduled about 1 month after the biometrics are done, so it kinda makes sense you getting an interview already.

Best of luck

Sharing my timeline: Late July filler, case transferred to NBC early January, and cased approved yesterday on the same day of the biometrics waiver.

Best of luck everyone

It looks like my case will be:

1. New card is being produced 

2. Fingerprints were taken

3. Case has been approved

 

Thanks for sharing it.

 

I just got the `Case Was Approved` alert. I guess now it is a wrap.

This is the order of updates that I received:

 

1. New card is being produced 

2. Case has been approved

3. Fingerprints were taken

It looks like my case will be:

Thanks for sharing it.

I didn't get any notice for fingerprints either. Case was filed September 2020, transferred January 13th and today I got a notification that New Card is being produced. Nothing about fingerprints during the whole process.  

As I posted this morning, I got a message of ""We ordered your new card" which in my mind it means approval, but tonight I got "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken". The fingerprint message normally happens before the order message.

Did you also get a delayed fingerprint message? If so, did you get an approval message after it? Please let me know.

congrats! im assuming the fingerprints waiver came on the same day as the approval so it overwrote the fingerprint message. either way, congrats again !

This process is making me so anxious. It's been 19 days since transfer to another center and 17 since fingerprints were reused. Waiting and waiting.... 

Hold my beer: For me it has been 33 days since the transfer and no fingerprints taken (waiver) yet.

I just saw on a fb group a July/2020 WAC filler having the ROC case approved on the same day that the fingerprint status changed. Same page as all of us - case initially on WAC and then transferred to NBC early January. USCIS is funny, isn't it?

Hello everyone, my case status changed to "new card is being produced" on Feb 4th. This is after 1 month and 4days after transferring the case to NBC.😎 I hope everyone else will get a good news soon 🙂

Congrats. Not bad for a June/2020 filler.

I saw on the USCIS case tracker app another batch of cases with fingerprints being re-used on Feb 4th, but my case is not in it yet  . Also, many cases being approved from the July fillers.

Got the same thing on January 22nd. When I got the email I thought I'd have to go to a fingerprint appointment, but then I saw this update when I looked at the status of my case directly on their website.

Did any of you get the letter for the biometrics re-use but no update online?

Here is the original post on reedit. For some reason when I link on the link there, it works --- https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/l7t9l9/i_built_an_app_with_detailed_gc_ead_processing/

For the people who are data nerds (like me): I saw on reedit this tool https://gctracker.github.io/ which is much better than the USCIS processing time estimation. It clear shows that WAC has a create backlog, and getting our case to NBC should really speed it up -- one of the smallest backlogs among all the processing centers.

I just saw on informed delivery I have a letter coming in from USCIS, my case status hasn't changed since December when it got transferred to NBC, wonder what that letter is ( I had already received the transfer notice in the mail)

Very interesting. Please keep us updated.

Do you mind sharing the other group forum? Because I want to be on top of everything that's going on.

Sure thing - it is fb group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1508984162719170; you will need to be approved by the admin to get in, but I don't see why you would not.

USCIS operations make no sense - I just saw in another group an October WAC ROC filler getting approved yesterday.
