I am curious, some people advise to call your congressman or senator to see if they can help your case... once you get to the 6 month waiting period. But, before you call your political officials, is it possible to call the Service center first and speak to a supervisor? Or is that a definite no-go?

Lets find interesting things to talk about while waiting...

For instance: Do you believe in astrology and what astrological sign are you and your partner? :)

Both Chris and I are Leos, you better not mess with us for real LOL B)

But, before you call your political officials, is it possible to call the Service center first and speak to a supervisor? Or is that a definite no-go?

I really don't believe your congressman has any pull whatsoever. Mine came back to me with basically the same info you can get off the website, which was totally inaccurate and unhelpful. Maybe it depends on the congressman though, who knows.
