There are so many factors...Imagine if they are only performing 50 or even less biometrics appointment a day because of COVID? I'm only speculating but if they are limiting how many people enter the building for bio/interview it might be a bit of a time.

Here's what is stumping me: if the biometrics are still valid from ROC, why don't they just move the N-400 case to interview? Seems to me that would reduce a bit of the strain on ASC's.

I have a feeling that until funding is secured for USCIS, they will not be scheduling biometrics. I think they may have opened up for certain applications but for N400 and 485 they will not do anything for now in case they have to proceed with furloughs and avoid a bigger problem in not having the manpower to deschedule everything. It is impossible that they're all open by now and no one in this forum has received biometrics appt for applications submitted as early as March. 

I, too, have begun to think that the funding issue has frozen things. I mean why schedule appts for August if they'll just have to cancel them.  

 

Regardless of the reasons...this is FRUSTRATING!

That is stumping me too. I did biometrics back on July 2019 so its still good for another 2ish months. Maybe they will do that? Who knows.

Noom's biometrics for ROC were taken in September 2019...I was surprised they scheduled another biometrics appt for N-400 in March 2020 (6 mos). Just doesn't make sense.

I filed n400 on June and no idea 💡 of biometrics. Can they confirm if it may delay significantly for sure?? 

i have travel plans so wanted to ensure didn’t miss my appointment

It has been said that because of COVID there have been delays. They also said if furlough happens the delay will impacted significantly. I filed in June too and haven't received any biometrics.

Also at Riverside ASC. I filed late March so did not get an initial biometrics appointment. I remember when I did my ROC the biometrics at Riverside was much slower than any of the others in the "filed in month" group (memory says 2-3 weeks longer delay), so I expect we may hear from other areas before Riverside.

Same here. Biometrics got cancelled. May I know what estimate case completion date you're seeing for your application?

My estimated completion time is January 2021

So it appears a significant delay

Here from Charlotte too, I submitted on 2/25 and bio was going to be on 3/18, I haven’t heard anything since then. I still see my estimated completion date as October, 2020...

Hi, 

 

Your question hit the nail on the head! We did biometrics for I-751 just 4 months ago (March 2020). We filed the  N-400 just last week (July 2020). Seems totally reasonable to use the recently-taken biometrics. And not only that, it seems prudent in light of covid-19. Why make people have to come out and crowd up in the ASC or extend timelines by having to limit bio appointments for social distancing purposes if there's an alternative: like recycling biometrics that are still well within their validity?
