FWIW, I plan on sending an update to the Rep Katherine Clark's immi assistant who was of zero help, and was stonewalling me, detailing how easy it was for Sen Ed Markey's office to send out an email inquiry to USCIS, and how effective and hugely helpful that simple inquiry turned out to be for me. So, she can open her eyes, expand her horizons and get welcoming for any future inquiry requests.

In my case, Senator inquiries have had a direct and immediate impact on USCIS to pick up and act on my case both post-NOA1 and pre-RFE, and post-RFE. Otherwise, I can almost guarantee that my case might still have been languishing in some cold, dark corner waiting to be opened/touched and even after RFER, it might not have been looked at until close to the cursory 60-day post-RFE published timeframe. Specifically, Senator Ed Markey whose office has been very welcoming, friendly and very responsive (He has my vote, my money and my network forever). My rep Katherine Clark's immi assistant simply refused to even send an inquiry saying she has tons of immigration experience and that it never works out until the USCIS published times are way past. My other Senator Elizabeth Warren initially refused with a similar canned response, and just now sent a response asking me for a physically signed auth form so they can send in an inquiry (6 weeks after my request to them), but thankfully I don't need them anymore.

NOA1: 21Oct22 RFE: 21Nov23 RFER: 27Nov23 NOA2: 12Dec23 RFE after the first Senator inquiry on Nov 8th, finally, out of the RFE jail, after a 2nd post-RFE follow up inquiry sent in by the Senator! we just got approved today! NOA2 in the mail... thanks for all the support, folks! Guess our next step is to wait for a couple of weeks and submit an inquiry to NVC for the case number?
