That was fast! even with the Christmas packages through regular mail.  I am assuming you got an email saying they received your application? almost 2 weeks since they received my application via mail and have not heard anything. But through timelines of mail applications, they seem much slower. 

I don’t know what you mean but i filed online and received paper acceptance mail after exact 10 days.

Sorry I read that you filed online on the 23rd and received your NOA1 in the mail on the 30th, that is 7 days.  Did you receive an email notification  from USCIS before the letter was received in the mail?  or you just knew that received it from the letter

Btw any idea for New York, after you filed N400 hiw long it would take to get BIO appointment letter in hand ? (Because we are about to move starting Feb1st we will be in different address so just hoping that i can get the mail in my hand before leave the apartment.

 

Any thoughts?

There is absolutely no way to tell when you will receive it. Could be six days or six months. Even obtaining information from other NY filers won’t help since timelines can vary from case to case, even those filed on the same date and assigned to the same local office. 
Your only hope is that you have a new address before the actual letter is mailed so you can file for a change of address. 
If you filed your case online you should see the notice in your online portal’s documents section when you do get the notification.

What if someone waited until the document show up in the portal and printed it ? Does it considered as the original mail?

That’s a great question! I was thinking about that too. I think if you have logical reasons to not have it in your hand then it should be fine. (Otherwise What else would be purpose of sending this through portal! Right ?)

Just a little things to share about this. According of my client (he is a immigration lawyer) that it takes about 3 weeks for NY filers. From the date you filed. According this i should have it by January 15th 2021 

I ll keep you updated about it if its going to be true!

While I would love for you to receive your biometrics appointment in three weeks, don't hold your breath on that.  The information given to you by your client is just not accurate.  Just browse through some of the other monthly threads in this forum and if they have a spreadsheet check it out.  You will see that processing times are all over the place and there is no set timing for each step.  If you do get your letter in the next three weeks, it will simply be a coincidence.

 

Not trying to bring you down.  Just keeping it real with you from everything I have seen on this forum.  I don't want to set you up for disappointment.  

 

Here is a thread dedicated to New York city filers.  Have a look through it and you will see what I mean...

If you filed online, check your status. My biometrics appointment was waived on December 30th, but I haven't received the letter through regular mail yet
