Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS - i'm guessing I need to lower expectations

[okccanary]

Hi Guys I submitted my N-400 yesterday morning online. I am assuming my local office is Oklahoma City where I live. Woke up today with two notifications one is that they waived my biometrics and are reusing previous one. The second one was that my case is being actively reviewed by someone.

This seems way to quick? How long did it take from being actively reviewed notification to receiving a interview and test date? I am guessing I need to seriously lower my expectations and excitement as estimated wait time for OKC states 9 months.

I will update this post when I get the next step incase anyone else looks for answers for this in future use.

I submitted my N-400 application in Feb, 2021 and my field office is Kansas City. It still shows 8 months to process my case. So far it is more than 6 months now but no information from USCIS at all and kept waiting.

You don't necessarily have to lower your expectations. I filed my N-400 July 3rd, 2 days later it said they would reuse my biometrics and my case was being actively reviewed. Not long after that I got scheduled for an interview, which was at the end of July. I think there was about 3 weeks between.

Then I got approved in the interview the very same day. I had to wait about a week and then they mailed notice of ceremony which is taking place this month.

So for me, N-400 timeline was about 2 months, despite the fact the estimated times were giving me around a year long wait.

It really depends on a bit of luck, the complexity of your case etc, ours was very simple.

Thanks so much Tezza for your timeline. Ok so i'm going to expect the worst but hope for the best!! My case is rather simple and have easy and good evidence. Joint bank, Joint names on House deed etc so hopefully I might follow your timeline. My removal of conditions was completed in 3 months so hopefully this will be as straightforward!

Mine was quick. Within a couple of days I had the biometrics reuse notice. A couple of weeks later I had an interview scheduled. I did the interview just short of 4 months from initial application and I did the oath ceremony immediately after the interview.
