Based on other people experience he might have his interview scheduled anytime between now and next week. Some people reported a notification about a interview scheduled on the very next day.

Guys!!! After I put in a service request yesterday, I just received a message from USCIS: "On August 31, 2017, we started the interview scheduling process for your Form N400, APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION". Maybe my service request got something unstuck?! I'm happy; I'm just hoping this is for real!

 

I am keeping my fingers crossed that all of you hear something soon, too!

Could be a coincidence, but I think it IS "real". It was overdue anyways... Congratulations!

Yay!!! So happy to see there is more movement on some cases! Congrats!

[HK12 273]

Also, I just checked the 7 cases around mine that were also still stuck in the fingerprinting stage, and 4 of them have been put into in-line as of today, as well. I hope there will be more movement on others here in this thread, too!

This observation supports my "coincidence theory".

Could you please let me know how can you "put  a service request"?

My case is still in Fingerprint since 01/30. I'm so depressed.

Go here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-Request/Intro.do and fill out the information requested.  You are probably in a similar situation to most of us in this thread.  I selected the option "Did not receive notice by mail" which isn't 100% accurate but allowed me to get the service request submitted.  Anecdotal evidence on this site shows that whatever date they say they will get a response to you by, is largely useless and it may take much longer for them to respond.

 

Once it's submitted, it will show up under the parent case (in my case my N400 application).  As you can see, my service request hasn't been updated since the day it was submitted (July 26th).

What @luv2teach77 said. 

 

As @casualuser pointed out, it was probably a coincidence that I got the in-line update a day later, though.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

I placed Service Request myself, since I am in "Fingerprints Scheduled" for 4 months now. I think it can help if the case is somehow forgotten or missed, but if there is something more serious, like pending background check, then it won't help much.

I've been at that point almost 9 months and it's just over 8 months since my biometrics appointment !!

At some point it makes sense to hire a lawyer and start a legal action against USCIS. I heard that it does miracles with almost 100% reliability and almost immediately. But I thought 4 months is reasonable amount of time to initiate a service request and other inquiries. I am in Raleigh field office and they report processing times of January 9th as of June 30th, so USCIS will not have this usual excuse that their processing time is within normal range with this field office. Soon, I can place another request that my application is not within normal processing, harass ombudsman and in 2018 I could file a case in federal court if nothing happens. Still, I hope something will happen.
