You could use the Descendants method. Because your XML has a namespace make sure to include it when querying:

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var resp = XElement.Load("test.xml");
        var statusCode = resp
            .Descendants("{http://integration.fiapi.com}StatusCode")
            .FirstOrDefault();
        if (statusCode != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(statusCode.Value);
        }
    }
}
