A: Receiving your interview notice before your biometric appointment for naturalization can indeed be confusing, as the usual process involves completing biometrics before the interview. However, there can be variations in the order of these steps based on scheduling and administrative decisions by USCIS.

Since you have already reached out to USCIS through their tools website, the next step is to patiently wait for their response. USCIS experiences high volumes of inquiries, and it may take some time for them to reply. Keep an eye on your email and any physical mail for their response or for the biometrics appointment notice.

In the meantime, you can prepare for your interview and gather all necessary documents. This proactive approach ensures you're ready when the biometric appointment is scheduled. If there's an extended delay or if you're close to your interview date without receiving the biometrics appointment, consider contacting USCIS again or seeking advice from an immigration attorney to ensure your application process proceeds smoothly.
