Its been pretty bleak in Texas with the winter storms. I have barely checked this week but just saw some people reporting they had a reuse notice under their documents tab, despite case status being unchanged. Just checked my own documents tab and there is a reuse notice that was posted earlier today. It is so incredibly relieving to see the case move! Wishing the rest of you some luck. My last biometrics were back in 2014 I think. 

If you currently traveling outside the US then when you come back, IO will retake your biometrics and photo...I just travelled abroad and came back on 01/2020 so that is why I got a reuse notice.

Hi All,

 

My wife's N400 form was filed online in October 2019 (under 3 year rule). Biometrics were completed on 11/15/2019. We have not heard anything since then.

Our field office is Houston, TX. We also have a pending Removal of Conditions (i-751) case as well. 

Status online:

Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS

As of November 15, 2019, we are actively reviewing your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Receipt Number IOE*********. Our records show nothing is outstanding at this time. We will let you know if we need anything from you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Estimated wait time:

We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time.

 

I've noticed a few other cases with filing dates after us that have already had their interview at Houston Field Office. Are other people having a similar issue with extra long processing time? Is there anything we can do to make sure nothing is wrong with our case?

 

Thanks!

Right. But the I-751 case has been pending for 2 years now, which is also over the usual processing time stated online (7 to 20 months). Which case takes longer usually to finish processing (i.e. which case is delaying the other)?
