How long does it take to get the notification that USCIS is reusing my biometrics?  I mailed in my application and I got receipt number in 30 days. And it’s 60 days now nothing yet. My field office is Buffalo field office. Is anyone in similar situation ?

Maybe check out some time lines to people in a similar situation, someone else may have filed when you did, or before and you can work out the dates.

By the way I mailed mine, and they recieved it the 22nd of December. No notices yet. But this gives me a time line that I should wait a month or so you hear anything. thank you

Our field office is Washington DC. We filed N400 for my wife online on Sep 15, 2020. We just received a letter of USCIS reusing her biometrics today, Jan 19, 2021. 

Okay thanks I guess mine is on the way I filed on Nov 9

The reuse notice seems to come once your file becomes actively worked on.  So it will depend on your office and how much backlog they have.  In my case I filed in March 2020, and got a reuse notice December 2020.
