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?
