How long after biometric reuse

If U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decides to reuse previously collected biometrics for a new application or petition, the processing time for the application may be shortened because the applicant does not need to attend a biometrics appointment. However, the exact timeline varies depending on the type of application and the current USCIS workload. Generally, after receiving the biometrics reuse notice, applicants can expect their case to progress to the next stage of review. This can save several weeks typically spent scheduling and completing a new biometrics appointment. Despite this efficiency, overall processing time still depends on the complexity of the case and other factors, such as background checks and USCIS backlogs.
