Regarding Senator Enquiry

[ss_mm 0]

Hi All,

I had US spouse Visa interview on November 2012 and after the interview I got white 221(G) for proof of ongoing relationship. I have submitted the documents on December 2012. My husband filed the papers from New York on February 2012. Then I got second 221(g) on January 2013 stating that the case is still incomplete and want further administrative processing. It is a simple white 221(G) hand out. Still waiting for the Visa that when I will get that to live permanently with my hubby there in New york.

But I have one question here:

I know Senators are no use in this case and nobody is above the Visa officer. Still I want the Senator to inquire about this case. My hubby is out of USA for 2/ 3 months for some office work and so on his behalf I need to contact the Senator. I can't call them because it is very expensive from India so how I can contact the Senator of Queens Village, New york.

If anybody can guide me regarding this, it is well and good.

I have two other questions:

1. How long the PCC is valid as I had PCC from Kolkata's Regional Passport office on June 2012? So when the case completion letter comes from the embassy then do I have to make the second PCC?

2. Is it true that for US Visa Medical/ Second medical, Kolkata's Apollo hospital is not doing that and instead of that you have to go to Bombay's Rele Clinic in Gamdevi to have the medical/ second medical done? I had a word with one of the veteran from Apollo hospital kolkata recently who is responsible for immigration medical and he told me that from now on you have to go to bombay for the second medical as my first medical already expired as it already completed the six months. IS it true? Anybody from Kolkata knows it? Please post your comment here.

Please early response will be appreciated!

Thanks

it is doubtful you will be able to start an inquiry with the senators office.

in order to do this a consent form has to be filed.. then follow up communication and status is done over the phone.. how will your husband do this? I doubt they will deal with a foreign national, but you can try. congress, house of reps, nor the white house have ANY influence over ap. your efforts will go unrewarded

also .. fyi.. google voice .. free calls to the united states.. cheap international.

police clearances are generally good for a year or less.. I have not seen any others good for more than a year. I would wait to get a new one until ap has finished.

doctors authorized to perform the evaluations are listed on the us gov'ts website.

all this information you can get to from your embassy's site.

You would not be able to get through the Senator's office.... you can try...

It will be better if your husband talk to them

Good luck

Hi Stevie, can you please tell me where I will get the consent form? As my husband lives in Queens Village, New York, who will be the Senator and how I can send the consent form to the senator? If you can send the senator's website.

thanks

There are two senators for the state of new york, Kirsten Gillebrand and Chuck Schumer. They won't just have a consent form available to download. You have to call and speak to the person in their office who handles immigration issues. They'd send out a consent form.

If you want to find other congressional representatives, have your husband go to this site and put in his zip code, it will tell him who his reps are.

Thanks a lot Erin! But I am from India and I need to email them directly because my husband went for some office work for 4/5 months outside US. And I don't think I will disturb my husband in this regard now. ALready he is tensed with this Visa thing.

So I want to help myself and if an email I can do on my husband's behalf and then later my husband will do the follow up and enquiry.

Thanks though Erin:)

They may not respond to you since you do not live in their district or state. Just be aware of that when you contact them.

But Erin I can email them on my husband's behalf right? After that follow up and status inquiry will be done by by husband from there? IS that fine?

Of course you can email them, but they may not respond since they technically do not represent you. That was all I was cautioning for. If I were in your shoes, I would do everything I could to reach out.

Thank you Erin. feeling good now. Sometimes feel very suffocated because its taking so long after interview on November, 2012 and still it is stretching so long. My husband is busy nowadays so can't really disturb him so just trying to help myself.

Thanks once again!

the only challenge is that most interaction with a representative or congressman is over the phone
