I called USCIS last May 23, 2014 and asked the status of my case. I told them that It's been a month since I got my NOA1 (04/22) and have not receive my biometrics letter. They created service request on my case that day and was asked to wait for 30 days on their response. But after 3 days, I received an email saying that my biometrics is current. So I assume that I have the same case like others that don't need biometrics.

I'm off today from work so I decided to call them again just to confirm if that email was true. I followed Neela's advice and was connected to Tier1 immediately. I told them that I need to talk to Tier2 for more information on my case. They just ask my receipt# and was transferred to Tier2 line. Good thing I was having my breakfast while I put my phone on speaker so I could hear if somebody's on the line. I thought I'm gonna be on hold for several hours but it only me 40 minutes to speak with Tier2 person. I told him about the email regarding my biometrics being current.and asked if it's true. He said that they uploaded my biometrics from my previous application. Then I asked my case#. Now the waiting game begins....

Thank you for your information.

One thing I wanna ask is did they ask your email address when you placed the service request?

My tier one person did not ask and she told me they are going to send me a regular mail.

Called USCIS spoke to TIER1.

She took my name, EAC receipt#, A#, receipt date, Address, telephone#from me. She then created a "service request" and gave me a referral number saying that I'l hear from them in 15 days by email or post. I requested her for my case# to which she mentioned that it doesn't show up as my bio letter isn't generated yet.

Hey Navin,

Did the tier one person ask your email address when you call? Mine told me they are going to send a regular mail. My application (I-751) has my email address so they could send me an e-mail instead. I am just wondering...

Hi guys, i have tried to call them, and they transfer me to tier 2, but it seems to take forever for that. I have been waiting for 2 hours three times already, and I still didn't get my case number...

Dont disconnect. It'll take 2-3 hrs easily to reach to tier2.

I agree with you. I tried to talk to tier2 and it took more than two hours. I was cooking dinner, ate it with my husband and still waiting (we almost hung up) during the hold.

Yes they took my email address and my physical address when they made the service request. You'll probably receive their response thru post mail sometime next week.
