N-400: "As of Dec. 4, 201, we are actively reviewing your Form N-400 . . ."
This may be a question that has already been asked and answered multiple times.
However, I ask it, hoping to get a fresh insight or news regarding that matter.
First of all, my timeline is as follows:
Dec. 2, 2021: An online submission of N-400. An almost immediate email notice of receipt. My area is Norfolk, VA.
Dec. 3, 2021: An email notice that my biometrics can be reused.
Dec. 4, 2021: An online notice that "As of December 4, 2021 we are actively reviewing your Form N-400 . . . Our records show nothing is outstanding at this time. "
My questions are as follows:
Question 1: What does it imply/mean that my biometrics can be reused? Does it mean that I don't have to visit a local office to do the biometrics?
Is still there a possibility that I do the biometrics?
Question 2: What does it mean that "we are actively reviewing your form N-400 . . ." ?
Does it mean that USCIS literally has begun to seriously review my application and thus, my interview hopefully is not too far away?
Or is it nothing more than a routine response which is automatically made after an initial check of my application showed no missing information?
Thanks a lot for reading up!

Citizenship Timeline, interview etc., Fairfax VA
03/2021: Applied for N-400
04/2021: Biometrics waived
11/2021: Interview scheduled
12/2021: Interview in Fairfax, VA
12/2021: I-751 case transferred (2 days after interview)
12/2021: All approved, waiting in line for Oath ceremony
This website was very helpful to me and least I can do is share my timeline. Interview was smooth but thorough. I was asked six questions from quiz. My spouse came in and we were asked multiple normal questions about our marriage, relationship. No one is lying so it felt very comfortable and as if you are having a coffee with someone. At the end, the officer said I was approved but it will take some time to get my I-751, which was pending for over 18 months, through the system. Two days later everything was approved. Grateful for this journey and to soon be a citizen of the best country in the world. Few tips: study the quiz, do not lie, if something you forgot just say that, and be patient. Good luck to everyone

Citizenship interview - Des Moines, Iowa
Passed my citizenship interview today. From green card apply through marriage to naturalization took 4 years and 5 mo. Interview went well, only took 10 minutes. Start with reading then writing, and Civic test. The officer did not ask for any documentation other than my green card to ID me. Status on website changed to oath ceremony will be scheduled within 10 mins after the interview.
Reading: Who lives in the White House ?
Writing: The president lives in the White House.
Questions on civic test:
1) what is the constitution convention ?
2) east coast ocean?
3) chief of military ?
4) two major party of the government?
5) branch of the government?
6) national anthem name ?
Thanks to the forum, I have learned a lot and I hope my timeline provides an estimation for others in the same region.

Los Angeles Filer - Interview Experience
Hello,
I had my Citizenship Interview today. My schedule is at 8:45am, got there a bit early because you have to spend like at least 30mins on the line to go through the security door.
I went up to 6th floor 15mins before my schedule. A lot of people were already waiting there so I thought that should have gone there earlier than 15mins. Anyway, I waited for around an hour at the waiting area after checking-in. Called my name around 9:40am. The officer walked me thru his office, he looks strict but he was nice.
We started the interview by swearing in. He asked for my IDs, began the civic questions (which I passed), reading (Who was the first president?), Writing (Washington was the first president).
We proceed to the "Yes of No" questions. Verified my employment, address, birthday and my phone number.
After that, he then told me that he's approving my application. He told me to sign something to verify the my information that will be printed in the Certificate. And then he handed me a letter saying that my Oath Taking will be next day which is tomorrow at 1:30pm.
The interview process lasted for like 10-15mins.
My experience today went so smooth. I'm now preparing for tomorrow's oath taking.
This community helped me so much from my GC application up to my Naturalization.
I'm wishing everyone nothing but the best for their application. God Bless us all!

How to continue (resume) online N-400 application?
My online N-400 application is incomplete. The USCIS.gov site did not work properly when I was uploading evidence documents.
I would like to know what I need to do (step-by-steps) in order to complete my online application.
Already for hours, I combed the site, hoping to find a link where I may complete my application.
Thank you so much for kindly reading up!
