[If you need to separate physically to meet your state's requirements for filing for divorce (for example), that's separate from USCIS processes. If I were you, I'd take a copy of the letter that you sent, set an InfoPass appointment, and show it to the officer in person. This will ensure that it's entered in the databases where it needs to be entered -- or confirm that it has been entered -- and you'll be off the hook as far as USCIS is concerned. What happens between you and your soon-to-be-Ex is then between you and her.
