Yes this is taking too long and they just say it like that probably just to say something. I doubt her words to be honest. If I don't hear anything within 90days, I am gonna call them again.

Is there any time period to call them cuz they usually said that it’s not out of processing times we are reviewing your case...

On hold now! Fingers crossed. I haven't applied for citizenship yet but I'm currently filling out the application and plan to before the new fees take place. I wanted to wait to get the ADIT stamp so that when I scan in my documents at least something is valid... 

what is ADIT stamp

Does it affect your case processing if you call them?

Not at all. This is more like general Query. It doesn't have any effect on ur case.

I just called them. I waited on call for like 22 minutes 🙄. They said as all the offices started reopening from July 13th. Expect any update on biometrics within 90 days  from the date I received my Noa. she said probably by the end of October and she said if not then I have to call them back again 🙄. That's all.

It's practically of no use talking to them. It's like hitting your head on a wall! Although I sent my package on June 9th, I got my NOA at the same time as you. Its more like batch processing than individual case processing until they actually get to individual files for sending interviews and stuff. Anyways going to just wait wait now 😴

Our case went to the MSC National Benefits Center. They received it 07/01/2020 and we received a text indicating our receipt number on 07/11/2020. On 07/27/2020 we received NOA1 dated 07/20/2020. Since the text on 07/11 with a single Receipt Number, we received 3 NOA1s, one for spouse and one for each of the two step-sons. The step-sons had their own separate receipt numbers. I suspect we will not receive USCIS updates on these two cases, only my spouse's primary Receipt number.

I wish there was some kind of logic to how they process cases. 24 April 2020 filer and no updates. Not even biometrics letter. I wonder if those of us who were hit by that period when no extension letters were sent out have been forgotten...
