West Palm Beach FO cases with waived interviews are currently averaging 7-10+ months post-transfer before adjudication. Biometrics reuse from a prior filing is standard practice and does not reset processing priority in most cases. RFE non-response denials followed by refilings are treated as new cases and do not inherit the original priority date queue position at the field office level. Cases last updated without action for 6+ months may benefit from an InfoPass appointment or congressional inquiry if beyond published processing times.
