I just had my fingerprints taken today. They didn't even ask for my extension letter, just the expired green card and the biometrics letter. The wait was around 1.5 hours though, but since I went 2 hours early, I finished earlier than my actual appointment time. However, the person just took fingerprints of my right hand (not even of my thumb) unlike my I-751 fingerprints where they took fingerprints of thumbs and left hand aswell. She just searched for my fingerprints on her computer ( i just saw blank screens for each finger slot) , and said she was done. Wonder if they already had my fingerprints in their database since my I-751 fingerprints appointment was just around 10 months ago or she didn't do something right? What was your experience like? Also, how long does it take for the status to update online after biometrics? Mine still shows biometrics status, not sure when it'll update

Hi There! Same here. I had my biometric on Tuesday at Elizabeth NJ ASC, and the guy only scanned my right-hand 4 fingerprints. I asked him twice if that is all that was really needed. And he said, "Yeah, that's what the screen asks for". 

 

Glad to know actually that I'm not the only one after reading your post. Lol. :)

Yup, I found out it's the norm. Also, it took 1 day for them to update my status. Now it shows estimated wait time of 10 months and case completion time 11 months. Don't think this is accurate, but either way my office is for Newark NJ too. what's your NOA date?

Looks like we have the same timeline and office. :) It's showing 10 months on my case status too. 

 

My NOA date is 07/02.

Hi there, 

I just filed N 400 online a week ago and today I got the letter for fingerprints Aug, 10 2018 at Santa Rosa CA Service  Center. My status said my case will take 14 months (September 2019) which is I am afraid it will take longer. And my concerned is my GC (10 years base on married) will expired July, 8 2019 which is like a month before my case is done if I am lucky with my timeline they gave me. My question is " Do I need to get my GC extended even though I am not planning to travel during that time?" Is there anybody experienced something like this recently? I know I have a year to worry about it but would be nice if I have some info in advanced😊 thank you. June

I'm in the same situation but everywhere seems to say if you have 6 months or more left on your green card when you apply for citizenship then you don't need to worry about it expiring. Not too sure what happens if you fail the interview, but I don't plan on finding out.

Hello Everyone 

 

Has anyone done biometric for the N-400 without having the Green Card. My one year extension is expired they took the green card and stamped my passport with another extension. So I will take with my passport and the Biometric notice. Let me hear your experience please. 

 

Thanks for sharing

Don't worry. I got the online notification like 4 days before I actually got the mail. You're going to get the mail, but even if you didn't, just print it out and take it to the Application Center.
