If i get a congressman help to expedite the NOA2 will it interfere in the next step for interview scheduling for example?

Hello everyone!

If we are over the time frame and contact our congressman to help expedite for NOA2 will that interfere on the next step as getting the interview scheduled for instance? Would we have any kind of problems for asking the congressman's help for NOA2?

I appreciate all responses and help!

What is your reason for expedite? A congressman cannot expedite the process, only USCIS can if you have a valid reason.

You also mentioned you are over the time frame, but you only got your NOA1 this month...?

Your politicians can not affect the timing of your case unless you can prove you have a serious problem that fits the criteria for expediting a case.

The USC in the case can contact these politicians by finding their web site where a form is downloaded & sent in requesting help. They all have staff members trained to placate people. They will make a call & inform you that USCIS is working on your case. Doing that will have no affect on the future of the case. USCIS is used to people not understanding these politicians are the same ones that haven't done anything to reform immigration law in over 60 years.

I disagree... I contacted my local congressman who represents my district about 2 weeks ago. I am not over my timeframe but I had a story to tell and explained why i am so frustrated with this process. On paper it looks like i "just started" this process but due to bad advice from the USCIS/NVC my husband and I have been separated for 15 months now. So I wrote to my congressman, explained everything to him. His aide called me and requested i fax my NOA1 which i received May 28th. I faxed that last monday and i received my NOA2 by friday! I think it really depends on your case and your congressman. It's worth a shot either way.

Congressmen and senators can only inquire as to the current status or whereabouts of your case files. They won't help in making the process faster, but if you are past the processing time frame (which is 5 months from NOA1), they can definitely nudge the process to make sure yours is moving forward.

Expedite requests are only accommodated if the applicant is under extreme emergent or humanitarian situations.

I was asking for a friend of mine who is over 6 months of NOA1! She asked me to post here because she doesn't feel her English would be enough to understand (as she said).

But i appreciate all responses!

Good luck to all!
