My wife submitted less than 2 hours ago.  We should have been October 31, but her lawyer had challenges with the online N-400.
 

The online form is rather buggy IME / IMO, but it leads to faster approval so I grudgingly prefer it.

I'm back on this hamster wheel again.  Submitted my N400 application on 11/2/22 and literally within 10 mins of submission, the biometrics reuse notice appeared in the documents section.  Thankful that I don't have to make a trip to the ASC for that.  Now the wait begins for interview date.  The estimated completion time for my case went down from 19 months (after submission) to 9 months after the bio reuse notice appeared; though I know this estimate means absolutely nothing.

Hello all,

 

Filed my family application 5/Nov/2022. Here are the details,

 

1. Both my wife & I are 5 years based applicants.

2. We both filed our individual applications. We assume that our 9 years old daughter would be automatically naturalized when we are. So we could all apply passports together.

3. I have been on F1, F1/OPT & H1B visa in the US until I turned 26. So I chose I was not qualified for Select Service in the application.

4. We also lost most of our original documents when we relocated a couple of years ago. Although we had a scanned copy of our marriage certificate and uploaded it in the application, we both also wrote a letter mentioning the absence of original documents.

5. As additional documentation we also uploaded our tax filings for the past 4 years.

 

Receipt showed up almost instantaneously. Biometrics waived for both of us. Please let me know if I missed anything.

I will keep the community posted on progress. Thank you.

Nevermind I was checking in from my cell phone. Now i checked it in laptop and i can see the document section . I see the two notices thr 😊

I was going a bit crazy wondering why everyone else was getting biometric reuse and lawfully didn’t say a thing.  Sure enough, clicking the documents tab there is biometrics reuse notice. Thanks!

 

edit: the case history from USCIS doesn’t mention reuse either.

Submitted my application a few minutes ago online! ROC is still pending with no update since August 2021. Those of you who got the biometrics reuse notice - did you have to get biometrics for the ROC? They reused mine for that already, so should I expect to have to go and get them done again this time?

Biometrics  were re-used  for our RoC   
 

Keep checking your Documents tab for re-use. We did not get a notification or status update for N-400. Whereas for RoC the case status did update when biometrics were reused.
