Contacting Congressman

[TeaCup 65]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a sample letter in regards to contacting your local congressman that I could look at.

I have no idea what to say.

Anything is appreciated!

I was the like at first trying to figure out what to say about three months ago, and basically i call them on the phone, and explained the situation, then he asked me for my email so he can send me two documents s which allow him to send inquiries to USCIS and NVC, and that's all i've done and it worked. i had his email and many times i send emails to get status but always delayed for at least 3 days, but when i give him a call he will give me an update right away so ii started calling instead of emailing.

good luck

Each Congressman has Constituent Liaisons, who will guide you through the process - some our extremely helpful. As previously said, you can call or email them, they all have websites which will also give you information. Most will require you to fill out a form, which gives them permission to inquire with the USCIS or NVC about your specific case. There isn't an official letter format for informing them about your case specifics. I just typed everything up in an email and sent it to them, along with the inquiry permission form. Just give them every bit of information you can in the email. My information was about 7 pages long. They might respond and ask you for more information or to clarify anything, but at that point you've established the communications channels and there might be a few back and forth emails. These type of Congressional inquiries can do wonders for your case, especially if things are going slow or either agency has made errors.

If you happen to be from PA, I can give you direct contact info for the person who helped me. She was amazing!

This is not an option for us as we live abroad.

Husband lives here in Ireland with me, he is originally from Illinois, so we were just going to try contact his local congressman.

I'm still under the 6 month mark so I am not going to rush into contacting him just yet, I just wanted to be ready for all possible ways to help our case!

Thank you so much, I will try calling first and make direct contact.
