Thanks Athena..I am feeling silly to ask you this question..but what is senator and how to contact senator? Please suggest..Thanks..

Are you the beneficiary? In that case your petitioner should contact one of the two senators in his/her state. The contact details of all senators are here:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

And here is some reading on the Senate itself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate

I believe most if not all senators have an immigration liaison office whose staff can make a congressional inquiry at USCIS on your behalf. Contacting the senator should normally be done only as a last resort, but in my view, as a February 2011 filer, you have a case to ask for their help.

I don't think so, although I am not 100% sure. My husband contacted his senator's office once on an immigration issue, and I don't think he had to pay anything.

Can our LPR spouses even seek the help of their congressmen or senators?

As far as I know and read here on VJ, it is the US citizens that can "demand" assistance from congressmen/senators. I may be wrong though.

My husband contacted his senator a couple of years ago, and the senator's office didn't turn him away even though he was (and still is) a permanent resident and not a citizen. At this point it's worth a try for the February 2011 filers, the worst thing that can happen is that the senator's office says no. In which case, once the LPR becomes a voting citizen, he/she will know who not to vote for...

Yeah, it will be payback time once our spouses become USC!
