Completed the process today. Interview wasn't more than 10 mins very easy and straightforward and same day oath (had to wait around an hour).

Started with English test, civics and N400 review at the end.

Location: Mount Laurel, NJ

Hey Everyone! Quick question on civics test - Most of the questions are either name one, 2 or 3 things but some are not like the one below:

Got interview scheduled after after 2 business days of fingerprint retake. That was fast.. Sept 20 Mount Laurel, NJ.

Hope so

Not necessarily, my wife got her fingerprints done and her interview is 3 weeks later.

That is very positive to know! Hope I get it soon too!

Hi All,

 

Received a status update on my case finally. 

 

My interview was scheduled for September 13th in Newark, NJ! 

 

 

Congratulations! Good to hear an interview in NJ. I am pretty far from it though due to fingerprints retake!! Hope you have a smooth process from here on.

Hi Everyone! Got my Biometrics done end of June but received a retake of fingerprints due to FBI reject. Anyone has experienced this before? How to ensure your fingerprints have been taken accurately on the second appointment?

Hi everyone,

I had moved and changed my address with USCIS recently, which was fine, got a confirmation email from them and when I looked into my account the new address was changed and everything looked good.

This morning I got an email saying "we have taken action on your case". I thought, great my interview is scheduled, but NO, there's nothing new on my account.

 

So I'm wondering, is that because of the address change or I still could possibly be having an interview scheduled coming soon, and is just the website that hasn't been updated?

Let me know what you guys think!

Generally emails stating subject as "we have taken action on your case" can be triggered by address change, document uploads or other status changes that do not require any action on your end. The status changes that need your action (appointments) would be more like "We have taken an action on your case and it needs your attention" to be the email subject.

I would still say wait for a few days and keep checking your documents tab and feel free to cross verify it with USCIS customer service if you don't see anything in documents tab after a few days.

Which one did you choose to go with? I thought the new one is valid so I skipped the one for today, also the document for the fJune appt.is replaced with the new one in July in the account.

I will confirm this from USCIS customer service Monday but it seems like July is the valid one. It has replaced the previous notice for me as well. My appointment was end of June and not today so didn't had to choose.

So today I logged in to my wife's account to check the UCSIS center address where she was supposed to do the biometrics.

And saw there is a new notice. dated today, that they have scheduled her a new appointment for Jul 12th!

This is horrible, I guess we have to wait and go on July 12th, but the last paper we got was showing June 18TH.

Has anyone had similar experience?

I see a new notice as well for Biometric for a date in July while I had it in June as well.

Got my Biometrics notice today.

Received an email from USCIS this morning stating - 'We have taken an action on your case'. Although my online account ha no changes and no new documents uploaded. Need to wait for them to upload the change to my account or wait for physical mail to arrive?

Seems like no action was taken. I connected with an immigration officer and they think it was triggered by some documents I uploaded. I have uploaded documents before too but never received that email for it.

Myself I am not putting to much weight on the estimates, indicated by multiple other people here. Crazy how it said there was a update, but you don't see the information...

 

How come/how do you know your office moved to Mt. Laurel, did you move?

I have moved. My current zip code is under Mount Laurel and previous was under Newark.

I see '9 months until decision' now. I still have no update on what action has been taken on May 7th on my case. I was able to connect with USCIS representative and he had no new information either so he had scheduled a call with an immigration office which can be anytime in the next 14 days.

Filed : Sept 28

No updates since then other than the May 7th action taken email.

I originally filled in Newark, NJ location but moved to Mount Laurel, NJ now.

Curious to see if you heard more? I'm wondering if they're finally hurrying up in NJ.

Looks like you might finally be getting your interview. I ended up moving from NJ to TX, so I might have inevitably delayed my application more. Keep us posted on when you get the update.

No update so far on the online portal. I tried calling the USCIS customer service but it is really hard to navigate to talk to a real person. 😅

 

I will keep you guys posted if I get an update.

Reposting as I missed out on quoting you guys.

Got an email this morning about action being taken on my case. Logged in to see the biometric reuse. Hopefully will get scheduled for an interview soon now

Hi All/Ramwho,

 

I just got a message this morning that my biometrics will be re-used. 

 

My office is Newark to, so I am beyond thrilled there is finally some movement. I've had two case inquiries total!

 

 

That is really good to see some movement in NJ. I still do not have any update yet hopefully in a few days.

Any NJ Sept filers seen any movement so far? I have not heard anything so far after receipt letter.

I filed 9/5 and heard nothing since then!! I called USCIS last Wednesday and requested a callback from a tier 2; today I got an email stating that my case is still pending biometrics scheduling.

So we can call USCIS to get a status update on the case? Is there anything specific that you had to ask?

30 minutes ago, Aaza said:

Is anyone still awaiting info on biometrics. I applied 30th September got the receipt notice and then silence. 

Yup, in the same boat.

My completion date originally was May 2021. Within the last month it had changed to June 2021. Now it says July 2021. No biometric re-use letter either.

I have the same exact pattern as well.

3 minutes ago, ramwho said:

The 400K cases are nationwide. The person that I saw got a bio reuse was Newark.

Ah okay! It sounds like random processing of cases in that case.

Just now, ramwho said:

I am NJ too. But I saw a post that about 400,000 cases for N-400 got bio reuse very recently. And someone who filed at NJ in November got a bio reuse.

That is interesting to know. Do they come under Newark or Mount Laurel field office? 

21 minutes ago, ramwho said:

I filed sept 12 but still no bio reuse. Looks like USCIS just randomly picks cases for processing.

I think it depends on your location and field office backlog instead. I filled 29 Sept in NJ and no movement so far other than NOA.
