My interview on the 20th Jan was rescheduled due to USCIS offices closing for safety reasons related to the inauguration. Checked today and they have rescheduled it already for end of Feb!! Hats off to them, they got that set up quickly.

Zero news in Chicago too.  Filed Aug. 24th and has only said estimated completion: June 2021.  We called USCIS in August for info on my wife's Removal of Conditions filed in JANUARY 2019 (I-751) and 3 months later got an email that both cases will be adjudicated together - who knows if that means in June 2021, or what.  Have since had to get infopass appt for an I-551 passport stamp (they only gave her 6 months validity - annoying), in order to get driver's license and travel to Argentina in February.  Really irritating that there's no rhyme or reason as to who they process and who they let sit for months, or years.  Going on nearly 24 months now waiting for removal of conditions - we thought filing for citizenship might help move things along - wrong.

Same here. We filled for my husband august and still nothing. Estimated time is same as well June 2021.

I don’t even have an estimated completion time anymore. It just says it’s taking longer than expected -.- I’m also still waiting for my removal of conditions, filed in June 2019. Looks like I’ll have to do the infopass as well since my extension I’d going to expire soon. So frustrating.

Hi, I never received a letter about biometrics since August filing but says completion is on May 2021. Anyone here from Seattle? I just want to hear people on the same boat. Thanks

Did you check under the 'Documents' tab of your N400 online portal?  They sneak in the Biometrics Reuse notice there without actually showing an update to your case.

Same here. I applied Aug 1st completion says May 2021. Haven't heard anything since the original receipt. My field office is Portland, OR. 

I've noticed the wait time estimates keep creeping up. When I applied it was 7-11 months, or something around that. Now it's 13-16.5. See: Processing Times (uscis.gov) It seems Seattle is 17.5-22 months out. :(

Oh yeah, forgot about processing times site. I don’t know which is the most accurate though of the two. I just want this to be done and travel without hassle (plus pandemic).
