Up until now, there has been no definitive progress towards a US-based chapter
Wrong, there has been plenty of progress, as much as is possible with the current roadblocks in place. If it were possible to create a new US-based subnational chapter, I estimate that there would be at least one created already, and up to half a dozen seriously in the works. It's not that nobody is organizing, it's that these groups are being told "Sorry, but we can't accept applications from you yet because nobody knows what's going on in the US". Remove the roadblocks, and progress will become self-evident.
I can definitely attest to this. :-) Just a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters shows two in planning and a few ideas (I'm sure there are more pages on Meta-Wiki about this too).
