N-400 February Filers 2018

[Le Bangoulap 25]

USCIS is really confusing me. I had my biometrics on 02/28/2018 my estimated completion date was February 2019 before that, after the the bio it went to January 2019, a couple of days after the status changed to we reviewed your biometrics  with an update estimated completion date to November 2018.

This morning I received an email saying " We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time" however my estimated completion time moved to December 2019 meanwhile the old site case status still shows "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS".

Any possible explanation? Has anyone had the same situation? I just can't wait to be done with all this!

Hi Le,

 

No Surprise though! The estimate time provided is of no significance! Don't rely on it! I know people who had interview scheduled  right away from status" We reviewed your biometrics" in no time, while they had a current estimate time of 9-13 months. So ignore it!

Thanks @INCHAPE7 it sound reassuring!

Don't read into this. The completion time moves around quite a bit and is not necessarily accurate. Some people with interviews scheduled for April have completion dates in 2019.

Hello! I am new here! 

I was never in a hurry for n400 but since i filed, i am very anxious.

 

GC holder since 2/16/2006

efiled 2/19/2018

receipt noticed 2/20/2018

Bio app notice 2/24/2018

bio completed 3/12/2018

 

Between my bio appoitment notice to actual appoint date, estimated case completion time went from 16months to 25months. I was hoping for that date to go down after my finger print but it has not changed yet......

 

Again... i am not in a hurry but i am little upset at this point. April 2020? Are you kidding...

Take the estimated case completion time with a grain of salt as many who are getting interviews or have completed the process say it’s pretty inaccurate. That being said, I’ve read that Houston field office is very very backlogged so unfortunately I don’t think it will be a quick process for you. The nice thing is that there seems to be a lot of Houston filers on this site so you can look at previous months and see how they are progressing.

Hello, what does your 'Next Steps' say on the following site when you enter your receipt number:  https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do   ?

I’m like you, not in a hurry to get citizenship (it’ll happen when it happens) but I am still pretty jealous seeing all these January and February filers get their interviews so quickly.  Lol!  Good luck to you and I hope it really doesn’t take that long for you!

Thanks! It appears it doesn't quite show what I'm seeking when I just enter a case number. What seems to change - without further external indication - is the 'Next Steps' field when you create an account on the same site, log in, and add your receipt number under 'My Cases'. When that's done' , your receipt number is added to the tracker, and when you click on it, it shows a 'Case History' on the left, and 'Next Steps' on the right. 

 

If you have the patience, I wonder if you - and anyone else - could add their pending cases and list what 'Next Steps' says. It seems to me the Next Steps gives a soft status update even without any notification being sent otherwise. I've seen mine change, but I can't remember what mine used to say. Mine currently says: "We will prepare your case for officer review.  If we need more information, we will notify you."  . However, my main status still says 'biometrics received'.
