Yeah I spoke to Tier 2, Tier 1 won't tell you anything. Did you speak to Tier 2? 

 

You got a status update saying the date was mailed to you? Mine just says 'Interview Was Scheduled' - are you using the DHS website or the old USCIS case tracker one? 

 

I received the 'Interview was Scheduled' update on May 17th, so a day before you. 

I used https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

And it is updated on my app on my phone as well, "USCIS APP"

 

Should I just request to speak to a Tier 2 right away when I call back?

They can't stop you, just ask again - they have to do it as per their handbook. Make up some excuse they won't know the answer to. 'I want to ask a question about renewing my medical' or something

The Tier 1 still wouldn't transfer me through. He said to wait till Friday and if I don't receive something in the mail then call back and ask for a Tier 2...

I asked about renewing the medical too and he gave me standard bullshit answer :/

Guess I'll wait till Friday.

I actually didn't receive the letter, I called USCIS to inquire about whether or not I would need a new medical and they told me on the phone that I was scheduled for the 26th June. The guy said I should get the letter this week. 

You filed in July. If the decision is gonna be made by interview date, your submitted medical record is still ok. Unless the IO requested for a new one during the interview, which he/she will inform you that you will receive a RFE for getting a new medical records before they can make the decision. Most likely it won't happen. Congratulations, looks like Philly might be a better choice for me compare to waiting in PHX... lol well I hope our case transfer smoothly and help fasten the process.

I called yesterday and the Tier 1 officer told me the exact same thing. I just called again now and a lady put me through, now waiting for a callback.  Call again and request to speak to a Tier 2 officer.

This is really great! I'm also worried about my medical because I didn't send it with my packet in July. So the same happened to you? You called to inquire and they informed you that? :)

@Adam&Allison NO! Still nothing. Although I called UsCIs today and on the machine that asks for my receipt number still says “RFIe was mailed”, I spoke to a real person and he said that I am in line for interview. That’s the only information he can give me. Sucks.
