 The only movement that I noticed for March filers is the Biometric reuse letter that was sent to some people only. Another thing was an interview scheduled for someone with I-751 pending. It’s definitely stressful but in my opinion it’s nothing to worry about and at least our cases went through the process already hopefully we won’t be affected by the USCIS recent changes because they’re going to cancel contracts with third party companies that helps them processing those cases. 
Good Luck! 

There are a couple of naturalization interviews that I am aware of, myself (march 2020) and another resident in the Cleveland OH office (I believe a June 2020 filer ), scheduled for late September / Early October. CLE has been one of the fastest office in the country so I would not despair if other offices are being slower.

 Yes true but do you have any idea if those couple interviews for march filers all have I-751 pending because I’m thinking that they might be prioritizing those otherwise people would have to go for a stamp. 
as regarding Cleveland I wouldn’t even compare anything to this office. Super efficient and doing their job perfectly.

I did ROC in 2019,  approved without interview, and the biometrics are being reused for N400. I believe the other person mentioned they had biometric reused from long time ago so probably they also already went through ROC in the past.
Here is the Cleveland thread, it might be worth to follow since it moves quickly. I believe there is 3 of us with scheduled interview, on 9/21, 9/23 and 10/1.
I posted your question there re interviews and ROC there.

Great it would be helpful to know if these 3 applicants have pending ROCs with their N-400 that way we understand why some people get faster interviews even in the same field office.

Great info, let’s hope for more answers from different offices because Cleveland is an exception in my opinion. Thank you

Well just checked my estimated completion date on the USCIS website and it is still saying September this year.  I have not had anything since I submitted, so either it is going to be a busy month, or the estimated completion date will have to shift.  I know which one I would put my money on...

Thank you for sharing, I was thinking of doing the same thing but I am also thinking that they’re probably going to give the same response.

Same here.. Norfolk, VA ASC.. I was supposed to get my biometrics done 3/30/2020. Office closed 3/25/2020. Called USCIS contact center, they said it will automatically get rescheduled once the ASC reopens, no need to request.

ASC did not reopen until 7/29/2020, I emailed USCIS via online access, received standard message that my appointment will be rescheduled. Still no updates as of today. So I called USCIS contact center this afternoon and they said I need to request for rescheduling by mail using the notice and a letter of explanation stating reason as COVID19 office closings.. mailing off my docs tomorrow and guess will have to wait some more. Not very happy I was given the wrong info and that if I didn't call, I would still be waiting for nothing..

This is really strange I’ve never heard of that before . Sending a request should be only if you were the one that didn’t show up to your appointment. Good luck
