Hey Vj!

Just wanted to give you guys my results of contacting my congressmen in regards to expediting the processing time of my I-130 petition.

So the process went over very smoothly. A rep from the congressmen's office called me and ask to have all of the initial paperwork that was submitted with the I-130 faxed into her office. Exactly a week after she looked into the issue, I received an email stating that within the next 45 days the petition will be processed. I realize that this new processing time was created since now the CSC is currently doing petitions for the end of August and beginning of September fairly quickly. I am a September filer so my wife and I both have our fingers crossed that the process will start happening here very soon. I also contacted my Senator as well and his immigration aid was also very helpful with informing me of what to expect as far as the next steps are concerned. The things we do in the name of love… Thanks guys for all the support and constant information coming into these forums!

Giving them a call wouldn't hurt at all. In fact, since it's election year most government officials seems to be more on top of helping out folks like us. Be sure to ask to speak with the person responsible with immigration and they should be able to help you out from there. good luck to ya!!

Also you should hear very soon about your petition since it's a late Augest one. Like I mentioned, the CSC has quoted at most 45 more days so I bet you're well on your way :yes:
