response from congressional inquiry

Dear Congressman Lipinski,

Thank you for the inquiry on the status of the I30 filed by

ALEX. USCIS records reflect that Mr. Alex's cases are currently with an officer.

When further action is taken, he will be notified by mail as expeditiously as possible.

Sincerely,

Martha Medina

Field Office Director

I had called USCIS this morning before i got this email and was told. We are working on August 10th, that doesnt mean that tomorrow we will work on August 11th, sometime it takes days or a week to work on 1 day due to the high volume of applications.

The assistant to the congressman emailed me and also said hopefully i will get an appointment or better yet an approval within a couple of weeks, If i don't get one within a month to contact her once again.

Martha Medina is the Chicago field office director.

When your case is at a local field office, calls to USCIS will not do any good. The agent you talked to on the phone this morning gave you the processing date for CSC probably because your receipt number starts with WAC (am i right?)

I don't think USCIS agents on the customer service line are going to give you accurate information about what Chicago is doing as far as processing times.

Maybe your letter actually got Chicago to go pull your case and assign it to an adjudicator! Good for you!

Im not sure if I should be excited or not. Does this mean a decision is close to being made?

well... it's closer than when your case had not been assigned yet to an adjudicator, lol

From what I'm told, an adjudicator can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to a month to approve a case. It depends on various factors, like if you provided enough evidence and how much background checking they need to do on you and your spouse. So, I would think you should hear something within a month.
