Ok, thanks. That is what I thought, but I thought it was a trick for paper filers, oh well, no problem.
Nope. Online filers have an online account (ELIS) where they can see status (obviously), see PDF letters from USCIS, and see/modify uploaded documents. Also can send messages to USCIS that do get replies, though they seem to be always generic replies.
Paper filers are only really able to track via EGOV with a case ID. You can "create an account" on that page too but it doesn't do much for you other than letting you turn on text and email updates. Online filers usually check both sites for status, though the ELIS site's updates are generally way better.

I tried to track my case that way, but it would not allow me unless I have an access code. I filed my 400 on paper. You were able to do so? Thanks.
That site is for online filers.

Status changed this morning in Elis to:
Updated: October 6, 2017
We scheduled your interview
View your letter on your documents tab for the interview date, time, and location
Same message for me. No letter though, but I know the message often comes before the letter by a couple hours or days.

My friend told me when she got that same notice on USCIS, she received interview letter in the mail, so I will let you know.
Usually that message means you’re in line. You don’t usually get the letter until the status changes to say the letter was mailed.

I received a case update email and nothing changed in Elis, but egov says on October 6 we scheduled your interview and will mail you interview notice.
Congrats on joining me in line!

You can go to the older version of the ELIS website by clicking the link below.
https://public-prod-elis2.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/
If it says "USCIS has scheduled your interview appointment and will mail you the appointment notice." then you should be in-line for interview
Huh, I wondered if there was a way to see the old site. Thanks!

Interesting. This was actually in the email I got:
QuoteIf your case status indicates that you are currently in this step, you have either been scheduled for an interview or are in line to be scheduled for an interview. The amount of time your application will remain in this step will vary by office and is largely determined by the number of cases ahead of yours. The interview notice will have specifics about time, location and anything you will need to bring to your interview. If your application remains pending beyond our normal processing times (as shown below) please contact our national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. Please note that not every application/applicant will require an interview. In some instances, an interview is required by regulation and others an interview is requested because USCIS has determined that this is the most efficient means to determine eligibility. For a naturalization application the interview will include your taking the required English and/or Civics tests (unless exempt or waived).

I am 99% sure your interview will happen in about 30 days!
I'm not holding my breath. Until I get an update that the letter was mailed, I'm just going to keep assuming it will be 2018 some time.

my ELIS is the same but EGOV is still "case being actively reviewed....", you are apparently ahead of me!
Yea, that's what mine just changed from this morning.

That's the online filing system, myUSCIS is https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
They show different case status
Yes I know they do.
3 minutes ago, NaturalizeHope said:Egov is this https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
ELIS is this https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/
Thanks.
Okay then. For me:
EGOV says Interview was Scheduled
ELIS says We reviewed your biometrics
So at least I'm finally "in-line", or whatever the equivalent is for online filers.
-
Just now, NaturalizeHope said:
Not sure if you meant your status changed to "Interview was scheduled" in your online filing home page or the egov website.
If it is in egov website, I agree with @qaszxc1234 - your interview might actually have been scheduled for real.
If the status is in your ELIS account home page, after the recent website update, almost everyone has their status stuck in "We reviewed the biometrics" and only updating when an actual interview has been scheduled.
So, congratulations @IPv6Freely - I think you got real lucky and got your interview scheduled
I dont know what egov is either.
-
Just now, qaszxc1234 said:
ELIS used to show interview was scheduled, which actually meant in line. But it looks like they have fixed the glitch. For paper filers, myUSCIS usually says "in line for interview" or something like that, which one filers don't have. I feel myUSCIS status is more accurate than ELIS.
I don't know what ELIS is.

If myUSCIS say "interview was scheduled", I think it actually means they have scheduled your interview! Congrats!
Nope. Until it says the letter was mailed it doesnt mean much. It's just the "in-line" notice that everyone else already got.
Basically, the consensus is that the “interview was scheduled” message (as opposed to “interview letter was mailed” message) just means background check is complete and they are transferring to the field office.
-
Finally got the In-line notice. myUSCIS case status now says "Interview Was Scheduled", though like others have said their USCIS Account online still says "We reviewed your biometrics"
Still, it's an update...

Wow that's fast @cj777 and @Jesse28 for an interview already! I have to admit I'm super jealous. I have a feeling we're not going to hear anything until maybe January. Good luck to you both!
I called the help line to ask because my husband had biometrics done on Sept 8 but there was no change from his online status of "Your Case has been received". We never got an email or other notification that the biometrics had been received, although we have that paper from biometrics with the stamp on it. Anyway, she said that that's normal because they never update people after biometrics and that the next we'll hear is when we get the letter for the interview. That seemed strange to me because people on here got notification that they're biometrics had been received and their statuses changed. I wonder if that's a quirk of the online filing system and because we were paper filers we don't get notified of those steps?
Yes, if you didn't file online your status updates are going to be much less granular.

you actually do get an in line text or notification... but mines been messed up, no notification or change in status since the first one saying they received my case Just had my biometrics but expecting a letter giving an interview date, whenever that may be...
You could be waiting a long time. The biggest gap in the process is between biometrics and interview. Could be days, weeks or months. No way of knowing.

You answered your own question.

I was a visa holder when I arrived in the US so I didn't need to register. Not sure what the letter is that people are talking about but I definitely don't need that.
