I emailed my Congressman and Senator. Whether it will help or not I can`t be assured. You have every right to contact them. This may be the only time in your life that you will need to ask them for some assistance. This is part of their job to help you in dealing with Government agencies. Here is part of the reply I received recently from my Congressman office

"I will make sure to check again this afternoon to see where your case is and let you know. I will keep checking at 3 week intervals which is what our office can do.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to communicate with me if you have questions or need additional information."

Yes you are free to contact congressman and their representative, but don't forget that USCIS and NVC have timeline set for everything. USCIS cannot just look at your case and say hmmm this is more important and should be fast tracked over someone else unless you have some genuine reason.

So it would be nice to be patient and wait until your 5 months are over and yes it is rude for congressman and his representative contacting the USCIS officer before your time is up.

Why is it rude to contact a Congressman to inquire about your case before 5 months ? Even if they are unable to do anything it is part of their job to make such inquiries for their constituents. This is why they hire aides and assistance to do this very thing. Most people never make a personal inquiry to a Congressman. I see nothing wrong with contacting his office and requesting assistance. Rude would be one person contacting his office numerous times asking for assistance on the same matter. If they can help you that`s great. If they can`t then you thank them for trying. In fact if his office responds in a timely matter to my inquiry it may encourage me to vote for him regardless if he is able to help me or not. I made an inquiry about a immigration issue several years ago. My case was done much quicker then friends who were in a similar situation. Did the inquiry help ? I don`t know but I`m guessing it may have. My point is that these politicians are there to help people and make inquiries on their behalf to governmental departments.
