Can you clarify? Do you mean they asked for references before the interview? If so, that sounds like they just wanted a complete application packet. They generally don't decide to call (or not call) references until after the in-person interview.

thank you for you reply, but what happen was it was send already right after the hiring manager have mention to me that the next step would be the reference check, my interview is 10am then email was sent at 9am, like an hour before interview, the process went quick cause monday i inquire thru phone,then tue hr called me to apply to the site she sends, so i applied tue, then wed hiring manager called me for interview then thu i had interview.. then after interview i check there is a reference email waiting for me to be filled to be sent to the reference.. hiring didnt offer the next step would be, so i ask.. and then thats what she told me the next step would be reference check but she still have to interview other candidates..
