We used our Senator to get my wife expedited here to the USA. For us, it may not have saved anytime but when my wife was at her interview, the person interviewing mentioned to my wife that my Senator was involved. We also were able to get the interview date setup directly with the embassy rather than the NVC scheduling our interview date. This only applies for IR1/CR1 process where the NVC sets up the interview date but because we were being expedited, the NVC forwarded their package directly to the Embassy in the Philippines.

What I did to get it expedited was contact my Senator because the NVC was dragging their feet and lost the our paper work.

Perhaps you will be able to get better results.

Either your Senator or Congressman can help. We used our Senator because he had been just elected to office and was anxious to help people that helped him get elected. Go to their website and fill in the appropriate forms and email it to them.

Awesome thanks!! so when it gets expedited at NVC do I still send it all the documents for that process or its brought to the interview and reviewed there?

You need to keep 3 copies of everything you have. One to bring to the interview, One for the NVC and one for backup in case things get lost.

For my wife, the embassy only asked for telephone and chat logs but she had everything else with her in case.

The NVC already had our documents when our case was expedited. The NVC forwarded those documents to the Embassy.

Senators and congressmen in general will only help you when something goes wrong, like in his case where they lost his files and were over due to get the work done. Or if your case has gone beyond the published normal time. Might take a little sweet talking to get them to help out in a normal expedite. If you call the representative's office, try to talk with the immigration liaison. They're actually the person who will help you on your case. It seems all branches in the process (USCIS, NVC and Embassy) are pretty good about expediting cases when there is a valid reason that meets the expedite requirements. If you're looking for one just because you want to be together faster, it's not going to happen.

no no I been around this site long enough to know the " I want to be with him sooner so I need an expedite" doesn't cut it.. yea I figured getting them involved on a normal case shouldn't be so i wont, and the senator does stuff with our church and met her so if need be i know it wouldn't be a issue if i bring it to her . ..but I would go through the normal expedite process like dwheels suggested and give them a call or email when it gets to the NVC stage .

Glad to hear it. Our congress woman assisted in getting my wife's green card, she came on a K-1. At the time adjustment of status applications were getting backlogged heavily as they had dropped the number they were processing to about 10% of the number coming in. We went past the published date and got the congresswoman involved and had my wife's green card in about three weeks. Shortly after they pushed the published time out to 10 months, so we barely got under the wire and got her's in 8 months. Keeping abreast of what was actually happening in at USCIS made all the difference in the world, as many that filed at the same time as us waited over a year to get their green card. You never know what kind of wait you're going to run into dealing with USCIS, and its constantly changing.

Oh definitely its a complete mystery as to why. Go look at removal of condition applications right now. California is processing in 3 months, while Vermont is at 7 to 8 months, and they've started forwarding them to California. This has been going on all year! why such a huge imbalance. And in just about everything Vermont is currently very far behind California, even though things like K-1's have been sent to Texas, who fell behind, so they've been sending them on to California. Why is California suddenly able to get so much done while the other service centers can't?

One would hope there is a new process and system that has gone in place in California, which the others have yet to receive. But that's probably just wishful thinking. But if would be nice for future filers.

yea you could be right. like for example at my job we are doing things that the other plants have beyond found a new solution.. but because no one wants to train or learn the new system we still use the old system which takes months longer then the new...so like you said it could be a new system their working out in cali and its working well but taking to long to get to the other ones.. seems like their doing it with their eyes close!... oh wishful thinking!!!
