@AlfNel23 some take away your GC, some don't. From what I read, there's no way of knowing. Make sure that you have a photocopy of it so in case they take it away, you still have a copy with you. During the interview, you can show your stamp and just explain the situation.

They are so picky OMG. I will make some copy of it. I think we are traveling this year so I need the stamp.

Hello everyone,

I just had my biometrics today at 8am and it was quick 30 minutes appointment. Since I'm on a code 5, they only fingerprinted my 4 right fingers, picture and signature which is what I expected. They also gave me a reviewer for civic test.

Now I received a notification that my application is actively being reviewed by USCIS.

My processing time also changed from 13 months to 10 months.

Waiting time is now on for me. I hope it will be less stress and shorten.

Good luck everyone.

We reviewed your biometrics

You do not need to do anything at this time

We will let you know if we need anything else from you as we continue to review your application.

Yes.  I guess we can find other ways to pass the time for the next year or so.

I was so amazed that they reviewed biometrics quickly. LOL!

Update:

I received my NOA in the mail today. "Received Date" and "Priority Date" are both June 18, 2018. But "Notice Date" is July 5, 2018. Make of that what you will.

 

I did apply for a fee waiver and it got approved. So I think that pushed back my notice date, but I am just guessing.

 

I was scheduled for biometrics on July 26 but I went today and got it done today, July 12, as a walk-in.

 

Mine is IOE. I don't know what that means but I see there's a column for that in the table.

 

My biometrics was Code 5. Is everyone who applies for N400 supposed to get Code 5? Does this affect anything?

 

Also, for those who are interested, right now my USCIS account is showing processing time of 19 months.

 

@PauPau, kindly update the table. Thanks.

It must be generated since we're now living in an automated world where everything can be automated when it comes to technology, so it's possible that they are you using automated background check.

oh i see, thanks for sharing 

 

what is the poverty line now days?  25k?

The poverty line depends on how many members you have in your household. Have a look at Form I-912P:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-912p

 

I have 6 members (me + wife + 4 kids) and hence my income needed to be under $50,610. But if you are single, your income must be under $18,210.

gc@gc, do note that what you have posted is 100% of the poverty line.

 

For fee waiver purposes, it's 150% of the poverty line that matters. That is what I linked to.
