Senator help to ask for B1/B2 visa status

[pakorra123 0]

Hi,

We (I am in the US, but parent is abroad) applied for B1/B2 visa in 2023 for the parent, had interview in early 2024, however no reply received so we wanted to ask senator to ask for case status at the State Dept. The website for TX Senator Ted Cruz asks for a privacy form and a letter outlining the case. https://www.cruz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/ussenatorcruzimmigrationprivacyformfillable.pdf
A few questions about the form etc here: 
Who is the petitioner and the beneficiary in this form linked above? Am I the petitioner and the parent the beneficiary? I guess ill put State Dept. info on case number etc where it asks for USCIS case info etc?
The record being asked for is for the parent, so should I sign this form?
How long does it take for the senator to reply and get the case status etc?

Thanks

There's no right to visitor's visas.

Senator is typically useful for immigrant visas. Not sure they can add value in this case.

Petitioner is for an Immigrant visa, you have no involvement in someone elses visitor visa application.

For tourist visas there is no petitioner or beneficiary, there’s only the applicant.

Basically you are asking US Senator to look into a case -for u- and the tourist petition is not yours

you can not petition for parent as the petitoner (as per say) although many of us fill out the paperwork like i did as Mother does not read or write

 

BUT still you have no rights with this application / the rights belong to the foreigner

 

And anytime a person  asks Senator for help (if they could and in this case they can't do it for u and your parent have no US rights) all they can get is same info from embassy you could get 

they can not assist 

 

parent must qualify on his/her own
