I waited a few more days before calling Chase again. Good news, after verifying my identify and waiting a few minutes, I was approved for an Iberia card.
Timeline: As I mentioned, I didn't receive immediate approval of online application. After a couple of days, I called the automated line to check application status and received "30 days" message. I called that line again after waiting an additional couple of days and the status message had changed to "7-10 days."
I know that forum members generally caution against calling Chase if not approved for new credit cards right away. For what it's worth, I've generally disregarded this recommendation. To date, on business and personal cards, I've never encountered hostile questioning in such instances and have always been approved in the end.
