I am still waiting on biometrics appointment.

Estimated case completion time

April 2021 (8 months)  - Moved from March to April now.. 🥵

Dont pay much attention to that, as it is only an estimation. Cases vary depending on the individual applying, some go slow and others fast. When did you submit your N400?

I've submitted my application on April 1st, and the notice of receipt was dated on April 1st as well, but I've not nothing (no biometrics appointment) since then. All I see is the "we're taking longer than expected". I'm in San Francisco, CA. Earlier, my estimated time was April 2021, but now it got pushed back a month to May 2021 already 😔

It seem like the processing time increased again. I think the biometrics center around Chicago is very slow.
