Like Lumpy... I cannot provide any input but if possible it would be good to see your timeline... I got a feeling that I am in for a long long wait though... It has been 7 months and I haven't even had my biometrics...
-
I received an e-mail from USCIS saying that my card has been put in production... at last...

Sorry for the long title.... I have a I-751 case still waiting to be approved and at the same time I have a N-400 case... When I spoke to an immigration officer, I was told that they would not touch my N-400 case until the I-751 had been approved...
Obviously they cannot approve the N-400 without the I-751 being completed... but is it correct that they wouldn't even touch the application (by the way, I still haven't received a biometrics appointment for my N-400)...
Thanks to anyone who can provide information...
-
Good luck with getting your biometrics appointment fixed.. I am going through a similar situation with my N-400 application, it has now been about 6 months since I filed that application and nothing.... I spoke to three different officers so far, the first said nothing had been sent and not to worry, the second told me they would use the I-751 biometrics and the third said they wouldn't touch my N-400 until my I-751 had been approved (now 15+ months and still pending)...
-
I feel your frustration... I applied for citizenship in December 2007 and I am still waiting for a biometrics appointment... Although, I am presently more worried about my I-751 application which still "being processed"...
The last officer I talked to setup an inquiry for the I-751 (which is now 6 months out of their projected times) but said that they wouldn't touch my N-400 until they had processed the I-751 (including the biometrics)... Something definitely smells fishy so I am in the process of writing a letter to setup a congressional inquiry...
-
It has been a long time... but I thought that I should add myself to the list... Still waiting to be approved!! It is like I am lost in the system, because I also never got a biometrics appointment for my N-400 interview...
Congrats to all!!

I know they have been trying to do this, did you get a biometrics done for something else? Was it digital? If so, they may very well have it on file. The FBI can probably confirm if they did the clearance for your N400.
I did have my biometrics done digitally... It would make sense to reuse them, especially since they had been on record less than 12 months when I made the N-400 application.. I never knew the government could be so efficient?
Do you know where I would go to make an enquiry with the FBI? At what stage of the application do they usually do the cleanance?
Thanks for the response...

Despite some lengthy waits, I haven't run into any problems with the USCIS... It would just be my luck to hit a brick wall at the last step...
I started a topic below to see if anyone can help... Some of the things that the customer service officer told me just do not add up... They said that I wouldn't need biometrics while they had a set still valid on my records (I assume they mean from the I-751 application)... Although that obviously wasn't the case for you... If it works out that way... Do you think I can get a refund?!?

I am starting to get worried that something is seriously wrong with my N-400 application that I filed in December 2007. USCIS cashed my check and sent the receipt letter, but I haven't heard anything since (including biometrics). My local office is Seattle and I have recently seen people getting their biometrics complete within 1-2 months of the N-400 application.
I made some enquiries already (in italics below), but some of the things the officers told me, just do not add up against other people going through Seattle. Has anyone else had to wait this long for their biometrics? At what point should I get really concerned? Can I take any action other than the customer service center and info-pass?
Thanks for you help!
Info-Pass Appointment (March 2008):- I setup an info-pass appointment to get my passport stamped because my greencard was close to expiration. At the same time, I also enquired about the N-400 biometrics. The officer told me that my case was on record and no biometrics appointment had been mailed to me. At this point, I blew a sigh of relief because I thought it had been lost in the mail or something.
Customer-Service (April 2008):- After getting a little worried about seeing other filers from the Seattle office get appointments, I decided to phone the customer service center... After getting passed around several times, I got to talk to an immigration officer... She was a pretty interesting character... She said that she was surprised that a lot of processing had been done on my N-400 and that I was probably just waiting for the Seattle office to schedule an interview (not biometrics)...She then told me that given her experience, my case should be approved in 2-4 months regardless of the processing times shown online... She continued to tell me that they wouldn't require biometrics until my old ones expired.. She said they did this to save money!?!? At first, I thought she was talking about my I-751, but I asked her to confirm that she was talking about the N-400... Does any of this seem correct? I know other filers haven't had this experience
-
Lumpy... Also going through Seattle for my N-400... Looks like you got a big jump on me though because I haven't even been scheduled for biometrics yet...
Good Luck!
No Biometric for six months call office today!!

Thought I would give my two cents... It has been 7 months since I sent my N-400 and I haven't had a biometrics appointment yet... I talked to three different officers during this time.. The first told me I was in the system and no letter had been sent (i.e. be patient)... the second told me that my biometrics from the I-751 were valid for 15 months and that my N-400 was close to being approved... the third told me they wouldn't touch my N-400 until my I-751 had been approved...
Well it is about 15 months since I had the biometrics for the I-751 and they ordered my card for production four days ago (I am guessing that means it was approved)... Too bad I won't be able to figure out which officer was telling the truth...
