Any ideas how long it takes to go from "Fingerprinting was taken" to "Ready to schedule interview" online status.

Its been a week since fingerprinting were taken, and the online status still says "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken". I am sure every case is different but just wondering whats the pattern.

Mine showed “ready to schedule” about 3 or 4 days after fingerprints were taken.

How do you get specific information such as biometric appt letter sent date from Emma? It seems to me Emma is a generic virtual assistant and not a true live agent. Whenever I put in a question, it gives generic answers. Once I put in receipt no, and it said to just go and check case status on USCIS link . Thx.

When you go to Emma type "LIVE AGENT" and it will connect you to real person.
They will ask you to enter receipt number and reason for call and eventually connect to live person
