Hello wonderful people!

I have applied for N-400 through mail a week back and still waiting for receipt notice. I am applying through the 5 years rule. My last biometric was done back in Apr 2017 as part of green card process. 

If you had applied as part of 5yrs rule, did USCIS reuse your biometrics or scheduled a fresh appointment? Any idea how USCIS decided to resuse biometrics? 

 

Thanks!

Wife applied online under 5 year rule in August 2022.  Biometrics, done in 2017, were reused.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
