My status is still 'We reviewed your biometrics'.

 

Filling: 11/22/2019

Finger prints: 12/11/2019 at Philadelphia area service center

 

I used to have 'Estimated wait time'. Once it counted down to 0 day, it became 'We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time.' since then.

 

My 'estimated case completion time' has been August 2020 all the time. Yet so far nothing... so frustrating...

 

Anyone from the same area office? any progress? Thanks!

Same Philadelphia office. Filed roughly 10 days later than you, completion date is also August 2020... No progress so far... Please if you have an interview date can you update here? Thank you!

EDIT: I also wanted to know if Philadelphia is doing same day oath ceremonies due to covid19. If anyone with recent experience please kindly share, much appreciated.

Thanks PhillyNatz

 

Hey everyone, 

I submitted January 24th

Biometrics February 18th 

 

Est case case completion was initially September 2020

Est wait time was set at 2 months, until about 2 weeks ago the countdown started at 30 days and then went down to 13 days. I checked again a few days ago and the estimated completion bumped up to October 2020 and the estimated wait time bumped up to 26 days from 13 days.

Thanks for sharing. My completion time has never changed, it’s been showing August 2020 since fingerprint back in Dec despite the “estimated wait time” was changed to “we’re taking longer...” last month. Let’s see if anything is going to happen this month

Let’s hope it does. On the bright side we’ve evaded that price increase from $640 to $1160/70 based on how you file, minus biometrics.

Has any of you actually met anyone from Philadelphia who has had an interview. 
 

It seems like this field office is a figment of our imagination. 

It is. Has anyone tried calling and speaking to tier 2 post reopening ?

I'm happy to know that I'm not alone. But since none of us in this group has had a status update since the pandemic, I start to wonder if the Philly office has actually resumed its service to do naturalization interviews at all?

This is frustrating... I was hoping by Nov my N400 process would have completed so I could vote but now that hope is fading.
