When you filed did you get a longer time frame initially ? I filed two weeks ago and my estimate has been flickering between April and may (back and forth). Hoping to get the bio reuse notice.   Between AOS, ROC, trusted traveler, DHS has bio’d me more than once already.

Hi, My estimated timeline has been set to January 2021, 5 months total. No change has been made for this yet.

So this "Estimated wait time" counted down from 4 days after I submitted and now it just says this. I see people's esimated case completion time moving up, some pretty dramatically, but mine has been May 2021 and hasn't changed at all. 

 

Also, do you guys keep uploading more evidence and documents as things become available? New lease agreement, new job etc. (Mine is based on marriage, 3yr rule) Or should I keep the additional evidence for the interview and just present it then?

I submitted my application (online) August 10th, and other than the initial receipt, I have not received any news since then.

 

I last gave biometrics in November 2019 for my ROC (which was approved during COVID without an interview), so I am wondering whether the reuse of biometrics might be something happening in my case as well, as I see that some of the other posters here have quite rapid timelines with scheduled interviews for next month already. Is anyone else on the same boat?

 

For what it's worth, I am based in Austin, TX, and my local office is in San Antonio.
