has anyone here contacted their congressman/senator in california(or other states) regarding their visa?

If you filed your I129F 8 months ago and still have not recieved your NOA2?


Want to know it it helps ar if its a waste of time.

its always good to be in close contact with your rep for whatever the reason, they have been known to come in handy at times. THey can get information that we sometimes cant, also have them send a email/letter on your behalf right before the interview to show they are interested in your case, this to has been shown to help some cases

I requested and my Congressman's rep did call on May 15th. My NOA1 date is October 19th. The officer told the rep that the petition went to an officer on May 6th and to give it another 30 days.

I had contacted my 2 Senators at the same time (Durbin and Obama) Durbin responded to my inquiry last week - Obama has never responded.

Durbin's representative called USCIS yesterday and she called me back stating that I should have NOT gotten more than one Congressional rep involved. She said she called USCIS and that the file was already tagged with a Congressman's call previously. She said that I may in fact be slowing down the process by have another Congressional rep call and inquire. That I don't undertand.

So, she said that USCIS was going to get back to her within a few days and she would call me back. So, to answer the question of "Does getting a Congressional Rep involved help you?" in my case, not yet. We are day 227 as of today, or 7 1/2 months.....
