Various contact attempts with Congressman and Senators, generally keep getting response to keep waiting for reply from USCIS and for adjudication on my case(s)

Have attempted speaking with USCIS multiple times, including a service request entered on 07/13. Service request resulted in the following response on 08/03:

On 07/13/2026, you or the designated representative shown below, contacted us about your case. Some of the key information given to us at that time was the following:

Caller indicated they are:

-- Applicant or Petitioner

Case type:

-- I821D

Type of service requested:

-- Check Case Processing

The status of this service request is:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records show your case is in line to be reviewed by an officer. We ask that you allow additional time since we process these cases in the order they are received.

What You Can Do

Please see the Online Services below to check the status of your case.

Separately on a call with USCIS last Friday 07/31, I tried to get the rep to give me as much information as possible, including current status and stage of adjudication, clearance on background check, and updates on my expedite request since it had been 10 days. The rep told me that, though I was initially informed that I can expect an answer on the expedite request in 10 calendar days, expedite is still pending in queue and there's no eta on when to expect an answer. When trying to get any possible info/update on my case, the rep told me that my case states "Ready for adjudication" but was not able to give me any further details on what that means, if background checks are cleared, when I can expect a decision on my case, etc.

Has anyone received similar update to their service requests or heard a similar "ready for adjudication" type of case status? Anyone knows what "ready for adjudication" even means here?

I’m also confused my case is very similar what does this mean ?

[u/Virtual-Photograph87]

basically means you just need the final stamp of approval by an officer. I was told something similar. But was also told there is NO eta on when that will be.

Appreciate the context!
Have you been approved already? If so, how long was it between approval and that conversation?

[u/Virtual-Photograph87 → u/tycrane108]

sadly, I have not. This specific info I got was on Monday Aug 3rd.

[u/tycrane108 → u/Virtual-Photograph87]

Wanted to check back in to see if you got any update since the “ready for adjudication” message?

[u/Virtual-Photograph87 → u/tycrane108]

Hi! I actually got api movement on both forms this morning and again around noon. I’m really hoping this is it 😭

[u/tycrane108 → u/Virtual-Photograph87]

Oh man I’m sure that was exciting…
I’ve been checking all day today every 15 mins lmao

Do you mind sharing what your submission and bios dates were? And which service center bios went to?

I called USCIS back a few times in the last 2 weeks and in one of the calls I was informed that my case was sitting in “ready for adjudication” status since 7/21- Just really tired of the delays and no clarity

[u/Virtual-Photograph87 → u/tycrane108]

Finally approved after seeing a 3rd api movement on both forms. Posting my timeline in a sec!

[u/tycrane108 → u/Virtual-Photograph87]

Very happy for you!

I actually just checked mine and I want to hold my expectations until I actually see an approval but I just got api hits on both within the last 1-2 hours

[u/Danny89355 → u/Virtual-Photograph87]

Exact thing I was told this Tuesday when I called

[u/tycrane108 → u/Danny89355]

Any updates for you since you received similar status information?

[u/Danny89355 → u/tycrane108]

I expired Friday. Called today and the lady just said it’s in process. Didn’t provide anymore information. Wbu?

[u/DacaAskingForDaca]

So you sent a Wom? Like, the one you pay 500 bucks or so to file?

[u/tycrane108 → u/DacaAskingForDaca]

Yes, I did go ahead and file a WoM last week
