"We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. Your case is currently in line for processing and adjudication. We generally process cases in the order that we receive them. Current information on our processing times is available at WWW.USCIS.GOV."

I don't know if that is their new boilerplate for "still in normal processing time" or what because I've seen screenshots of emails that actually do say that, but either way:

Hey hang in there!! I know it’s frustrating. Try doing an expedite. Just call uscis, u can do it over the phone. Give them a reason to expedite it. I expedited on last Thursday, on Tuesday they emailed me an update stating that request was denied and today I received an approval. I think that by requesting an expedite made them pull my file so it just caused an approval. Try the expedite.

I hope that our inquiry will have the same result but if not I'll definitely be adding an expedite request to my "how can we make USCIS pay attention to us" list! 

I am not a lawyer and nothing I say is or should be taken as legal advice.

NVC, in 5 days? Do you mean after NOA2?

Judging by your timeline, I think you didn’t understand the question.

So I recently requested expedited service.  I received a response as to my next steps rather quickly but this last notification I am really confused to what it means, can someone tell me if this means that they may have just fat fingered the response like I assume?  

 Keep in mind I only received this as of Friday and had not mailed anything in yet.

Thanks
