How does your friend know they reused his biometrics ?? I applied my N-400 in April, since then nothing.

His status was updated 4 weeks ago saying we are re-using your biometrics from last time and nothing is needed from you at this time.

Hi Andrea,

 

I see that you have filed n-400 by papers and I'd like to ask a question.

I filed my n-400 by papers as well, and I've received the notice instructing me to create an online account in order to monitor my case. 

 

I wonder if your case number also starts with "IOE...."? and if you could see All your paper documents have been scanned and uploaded in your online account?

It's confusing for me, as I filed it by papers, now I can see only PART of my paper application in my online account under the section "documents". I wonder if this is the case for you as well.

 

Thank you so much!!!

 

this is exactly how it is for me, I dont think you have to worry about it. Even mine I only see a few documents scanned. But I think they should have all the paper documents.
