What is the point of getting responses on who might have received biometrics appointments out of the Nov 2020 filers? What good is that going to do for you, knowing all well that their dates and timing of events will have absolutely zero impact on your case or anyone else’s? What you’re going to end up with is data that is absolutely worthless to your case. You are not going to find the magic bullet you are looking for. 

 

What is the point of you trying to shut me down. Its a forum and we share our experiences. If you dont want to share dont share yours no one is forcing you to share yours or if you dont want to  help its ok. But you dont have to reply to people saying why are you asking this, How is it going to help, what is the use blah blah blah.

Nobody is trying to shut you down. We’re just giving you the correct answer to your questions which you just so happen not to accept for some reason. I am glad to share details of my case which I have in my filing month and on my timeline. But once again, you tell me - what benefit does that provide you other than some false hope/disappointment? That should answer your own questions for you. The reason I asked why you are asking for peoples biometrics dates is to understand what it was you were trying to accomplish with data since you yourself agreed that there were several factors which might affect everyone’s progress. 
 

Anyways, I’m done here - don’t want to waste any more time trying to get you to understand, or accept the correct answer to your question. Good luck finding the unicorn.

Hi every one I just received an update  on my biometrics reuse

That's great.  Congrats!

I assume you applied based on a 3 year rule for the biometrics to be re-used?

Please share more details like your field office.

Thanks a lot.

Following this thread on behalf of a friend whose N-400 paper application was received at the Texas location on November 17th and still hasn't received any confirmation (no Notice of Action, or email or text since she submitted a G-1145 too). Based on recent paper filings, what is the average wait time before receiving a receipt notice.

Paper filings are always orphans on the back seat. The only reason for the paper filing should be for the fee waiver request. 

The Covid low workers at USCIS is causing very slow paper processing(this is true for even IRS paper filings also). Dont worry,  you will get it. My Paper filed Taxes took 9 months to get processed while an online filing might have taken 10 min to get the processing done.

Do you mean nine months just to get an NoA? Regardless, thanks for the reply.
