N400, why is it taking so long?

So, I’ve been a permanent resident since 2014 or since I was 13 years old. Me and my mom came as refugees.

We did not apply for a green card until 2010 as we did not travel anywhere, once we did, we got it within a couple of months, anyways, as our cards were due to expire this year, we both applied for citizenship.

My mom’s application has been processed in a matter of weeks and she has given her fingerprints and is now awaiting the final steps.

I on the other hand am yet to receive any info. We both applied the same day which was back in middle of May.

My completion date kept moving from November to January and now February but they are yet to inform me of when I will go give fingerprints.

As it was taking so long, I reapplied for a green card to as mine would have expired in September.

I got called to give fingerprints within a couple of weeks and the green card arrived a few days ago but nothing yet regarding my citizenship status.

Anyone knows what the start to finish times are and why there immigration office is taking their sweet time with me?

Unlike my mom, I’ve been out of the country on my green card on 8 occasions in the last 10 years it never overstated my welcome and was always back within a couple months. Most of this occurred while I was in college.

Could that be the reason?

I wish I had applied while I was under 18 as I could have gotten it free, now I’m out almost $1200 for the GC and the n400 form.

There’s literally no reason I would be denied as I’ve said I’ve been here since I was not even 13 but the fact that it’s been over 4 months and all I’m getting is push backs regarding my completion status is worrisome.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
