"The status of this service request is:

Your biometrics appointment has been requested. At the time your case was received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you were provided a USCIS online account. With this account you can:

* Receive a copy of all notices mailed to you.
* Check the status of your case.
* Sign up to receive email notifications and text messages.
* Manage your account preferences and contact information.

To access your account, please follow the steps below:
1. Visit us online at https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov
2. Select the “Create a New Account” icon on the upper right side of the screen, and follow the on-screen instructions for creating a new account in order to login to the system.
3. Under “Actions” (on the right), select “Enter Your Online Access Code.” Your access code was provided in on your Receipt Notice.
4. Enter your “Online Access Code” (found on the upper right side of the Receipt Notice) and your “Date of Birth” in the fields provided. Then, select “Submit.” If the information you enter is correct, you will return to the “Customer Home Page” and see a message indicating that you have successfully linked your case to your account. Information regarding your case will now appear at the lower left side of the application under “Recent Cases.”

And it goes on longer to talk about it expiring 30 days from receipt, yada yada yada..

Has anyone received an email like this? Does this perhaps signal that I will be a part of today's "Friday batch"? Maybe I am grasping at straws here, but I will take anything I can get at this point.
