Can you provide a little bit more info? Have they scheduled the bio before you called or have they scheduled it for you when you called? Which number did you call? 1-800 one? Or your local FO?
Thanks
Hi Mom
quick question..
i just checked USCIS online and there is an update on my case.
Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

and as a family we are 5 person but only updated 3 cases. other 2 are still pending on "finger print fee received"

Hi EU44K, congrats! We have appointment on the same day. What time is yours? I haven’t received the letter yet.

My appointment is at noon. He told me that I will receive a letter by the end of the week and even if I don't receive the letter I can still go for an interview. What time is yours?
Great! Mine is at 10 am. But I am not sure if the call I missed after the first one was about scheduling the biometrics. Best of luck!

They will probably try to take your biometrics before the interview! Best of luck to you too!

An update on my case.
I’ve been panicking because nothing seemed to be happening. Apart from calling USCIS and being told that my case was at the Brooklyn FO.
On July 14 I put an e-request saying that I hadn’t received a letter for evidence. 
On the 16th I had a phone call from a supervisor in Manhattan (Federal Place). He told me to come in Monday 20th. He was really lovely and helpful. Giving me directions and everything. I thought it was a prank! I said “don’t I need a letter?” And he said I could wait for a letter but it would be weeks.
He later called back to say I would receive a bio letter for Long Island City and he said to ignore it. On that call I asked about my friend (also on this forum) who hadn’t received a letter. And he said to bring him!!!
So we both went in this morning. There were hardly any people in the office, no more than 5 or 6 waiting at a time.
The supervisor was lovely. I asked him when he thinks I’ll get a letter for an interview and he just said “they’ll be in contact”. He said he was processing quite a few DV cases. And also said that I would get the green card sooner than my EAD.
It was pretty funny. He took me into the office, I walked past all the filing cabinets and supervisors. Into a back room and had the photo and fingerprints. I couldn’t get the answers I wanted but at least my photo looked good
I just hope the interview letter isn’t far behind

It means they’re using the same fingerprints result used for your EAD and will not be scheduling you for a new bio appointment.

Hi @aussie expat you said "e-request saying that I hadn’t received a letter for evidence".
The e-request has 2 options like that
1: Did not receive notice by mail
2: Did not receive document by mail
Q1: Which one did you use?
I called the USCIS general number and after confirming which FO my case was at the lady said as Lawrence, MA FO is scheduled to open on 27th hence I can't do anything at this point. Any advice?

You can't make an e-Request if it has been less than 6 months that your application is with USCIS.
Hey Everyone!
I was ready to write to my congresswomen today, to follow up on my case, but received an update on my USCIS account - I'm attaching it. I feel it is a good sign. I will be waiting for my letter, hope to get it ASAP. Good luck everyone!
P.S. I don't have my bio yet...

I was thinking of requesting my congresswoman to inquire about my case to the USCIS. I am still waiting for my biometric appointment. I was reading that there is a recess in the congress in the month of August.
I wanted to wait till august to send an inquiry but this seems that I will not get a response in August. Is this true?

That is encouraging news, it is very much depended on FO I guess. My CN EU29xxx so if you are scheduled that means I have to assume my FO is too busy. Good luck.
