But I got a txt from the old number from the old CaseStatus SMS service and it said to check my case online. I also got the email notice like they used to send them out before ELIS.

This was one of my last emails to USCIS:
"Process my case outside ELIS. USCIS' internal ELIS issues have grossly delayed my application to the point that I have not been scheduled for biometrics. Everyone knows this is an internal USCIS issue and not the applicants. Process my case through CLAIMS 3, SNAP/NASS(manual), ELIS is not working for me."

I got an email that they had manually entered my information.

Which at the time I thought they were BS'ing, but NASS send out batch appointments on a weekly basis, so Friday night might have been the day it send out appointments since we both got it around the same time.

I'll be interested to see how the later part of the process works out.

I wonder if there are no more renewals at the moment.
