Not all the point you get are from the transfer. The 30% bonus is issued by United itself.
So there's
two timings involved:
1. How long it takes for the points to get from Chase to United.
2. How long it takes after that for United to issue the 30% bonus
Meanwhile, do you have an actual booking you plan to do before the devaluation (that's affected by the devaluation*) if you get enough miles by then (but don't have enough miles now)? That would seem to cutting it very close, even if there's a chance it all will post in time.
* The devaluation is not universal. For example, the USA<->Europe on UA metal simply is getting elevated to what USA<->Europe was on partner airlines for a few years now. If you were planning to fly USA<->Europe on partner airlines, there's no devaluation.
