HELP! Who should I be contacting sither Senator or Congresswoman

[nomore1596 0]

Here my ordeal:

I sent our I129F in June and received an NOA1 on the 4th of June 2012. So far, it's past the 6 months mark. I called USCIS last friday and requested a service request but the man that I spoke to couldn't get the request to go through so he suggested me to write an email to them and wait for at least 10 business days for them to respond back. Well, I decided that I'm going to get my senator involved. But after doing some research, I'm not sure on which one to contact either the U.S. Senator Bob Corker or U.S. House Representative of district 6, Diane Black. Please help and thanks for the help in advance. Also, for those of whom went this route, I'd like to receive some input from you guys if possible.

Don't get too nervous. It took me 7 months and one week for me to get my NOA 2. Nothing was "wrong", they are just "busy". You did not state what service center you application is in. Maybe others in the same center can give you a better idea as to what the real processing time is. In answer to your question, if you choose to contact your representatives, I would contact both of your state representatives (congressperson and senator).

sry mine is at VSC. Of course, it's easier said than done but its just hard seeing others receive their NOA2 when their NOA1 dates are later than mine. I need to be patient but I'm going to contact both as you suggested.

ok I contacted my senator and I'm having them find out the status of my case for me, as well as having them process my case. We'll see what happens next. Stay tuned.

I am at CSC and went to my congressman at the 5 month mark. I had to send the permission form along with a letter of explanation of why I was asking their help and the next day, I received action. I got an RFE but it was my fault (I left 2 boxes unchecked). Congressman and Senators have people in their offices that are there to specifically help people like us. I think that if you have waited for the amount of time that the statutes have set, then you are entitled to ask for help. That doesn't mean that it will happen but you sure can ask. Sometimes "The squeeky wheel gets the grease"

I absolutely agree with you. Hopefully, if I were to receive an RFE, it's as simple as human error and not anything else. I hope to hear something from there either today or tomorrow since the person I spoke with wasn't working yesterday when I dropped off the privacy release form. So, I'm assuming after you checked mark those two boxes, you received your NOA2 right?

You should contact your senator too because that's way beyond the 6month mark. Good luck!

When we were where you are now….waiting and waiting...(except ours was the then glacial-paced CSC), I likened it to watching grass grow, or watching paint dry….

Hang in there!
