Your case is in the queue for an interview at a USCIS field office. It's past the initial steps and waiting for a slot.
When a slot opens, the status changes to 'Interview Was Scheduled' and the notice is mailed. The wait depends on the office and can be weeks or months.

USCIS mails an interview notice with the date, time and office. If you have a USCIS online account, the notice may appear there too.
