129 and 130 waiting times

[heartbroken 0]

I would like to urge everyone to contact their congressional representatives office from the date your check is cashed. It will do no good for those of us caught up in this hateful web of indifference but it may overwhelm with enough evidence that this is a problem. A major problem. We don't call until we are at our wits end. They swoop in like a hero but in reality have little or no effect. I was told by a USCIS employee that when they receive a "congressional" they put you back further because, and I quote, "Congress can't tell us what to do. We just send them a response and keep on going"

It will be a long long time before I get my wife here even though I did everything by the book.

Family visas should have top priority especially over business interests.

So your timelines should look like this:

3-1-07 filed 130

3-15-07 check cashed

3-15-07 called congressperson and started process

3-16-07 called congressperson again to remind him/her

3-17-07 called congressperson again to remind him/her

3-18-07...........

If your file is not over 6 months, a congress person will only be told the same as you. Most will even tell you that they cannot help unless 6 months have passed.

USCIS state they have 6 months to approve a petition and by *** do they stick to this comment when people enquire.
