I think this should be a good reason to file N-400 when you become eligible if that's the end goal

USCIS Aims to Decrease Processing Times for N-400 and I-485

USCIS will implement a national strategy to decrease differences in processing times based on location for Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

Since the end of 2015, we have experienced an increase in processing times due to higher than expected volumes received during fiscal years (FY) 2016 and 2017 that did not decrease as originally projected. FY 2017 receipts were up 15.6% from FY 2016, and FY 2016 receipts were up 25.5% from FY 2015. The increased filing volumes did not affect our field offices equally, which resulted in some disparity in the processing times among field offices.

As we shift caseloads between field offices to decrease processing times, we may schedule applicants to appear for an interview at a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. Applicants may receive an interview appointment notice or other types of notices (such as a Request for Evidence) from a field office outside of their normal jurisdiction. However, these caseload changes will not affect where applicants attend their biometrics appointments. We will still direct them to the nearest application support center. Applicants should follow the instructions on any notices they receive from USCIS.

USCIS remains committed to adjudicating applications, petitions, and requests for immigration benefits as effectively and efficiently as possible in accordance with all applicable laws, policies, and regulations while securing the integrity of the immigration system.

If you have questions about an appointment notice we send you, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center.

We got the letter today that says my husbands case was transferred from California to Potomac. Is there a separate thread for the Potomac Service Center ? Does anyone have any info on the center itself as far as processing times etc ?

Wondering the same. Someone on this thread said that Potomac is usually fast, but I haven't seen any timeline or other posts for that. Hopefully it is quick!

So a weird thing happened today...

I received a letter back in March saying that my fingerprints would be reused. After that my status online change to Fingerprint Review Was Completed. It's been sitting there since March, and today I came home to a letter asking me to get my fingerprints taken at my local office on July 1st...

 

Has this happened to anyone? When I check my case online it still says Fingerprint Review Was Completed. 

 

I'm in the California Service Senter (WAC receipt).

July filer here.... California Service Center.... We received the same. Notified in March fingerprints review was completed and received letter today that we are to go July 1 to local office to get biometrics done. I look at it as a good thing. I have seen the same happen to some others and the ROC and card came soon after the biometrics were completed.

It's been happening to everyone in the last couple months who had their biometrics waived.  It seems they were waived in error for a large group.  Annoying, but the plus side is that approvals have followed quickly.
