[M&D 0]

Hi everybody, I want to thank all you for your help and congratulate all of those who have received their approval and visa, now I'm in a uncomfotable situation, It will be six monts since I received my NOA1 after that I've no news for my case, I wonder if there is a problem with it. My fiance and I prepare to write a letter to VSC or the congressman but we don't know how to do it and what to say, or wich congressman to write, If someone knows something about that, It' would be very nice to receive his advice...

Please note that I'm living at brooklyn (zip code 11236)...

Thanks

Here are the people that represent you. Call them up and they will make you fill out a form and fax it back that gives them permission to handle your personal information.

Hi M&D. I'm also over the 6 month mark and in Brooklyn. I've tried my congressman (Ed Towns) and both senators (Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand). Senator Gillibrand's office has been really helpful. I emailed all of my documents in and they had a response for me from VSC the next day. I've heard nothing from the other two and neither of them have returned my follow up calls.

Definitely call all of the offices first and ask to speak to the person who handles immigration case work. Take down the name, you'll send your documents to the attention of that person. Ask them if they would prefer fax or email because often the mail is rerouted to Washington D.C. for safety reasons (i have no idea...) first. You can then check their websites to get their privacy waiver which you'll send in with a photocopy of your NOA1 and any other relevant info they need.

Good luck!

Oh and as for what to write, keep it really simple. Some have forms already made up on their website- you just insert your case number and add a short paragraph about your problem. Senator Gillibrand does not so I just sent in a brief letter explaining that I was outside of processing times and the customer service line has been unable to help me.

The people responsible for the immigration casework (here in NYC at least) are really familiar with these cases and the service centers so you don't need to go into too much depth explaining the situation (unless you have some sort of unusual circumstances). They know the processing times and how to submit an inquiry to USCIS, they really just need your info.

One more time I knew that I can count on you, I find the address of the congressman's office it's a little near of my house, I'll go personally in order to do exactly the right thing otherwise meet the responsible if I can...

Thank you for your help, I'll keep you notified.
