Hello and thank you for your previous answers.

I have seen people call their senators or representatives.

My husband moved to New Mexico last July and was living in ALaska before that.

He contacted his senator in Alaska and two senators in New Mexico.

He's been told by the ALaskan one that sine he doesn't live there anymore it's not his problem in other words.

He's been told by the New Mexico ones that since he didn't vote last elections because he was living in Alaska that they can't help him with this.

Hello... is anyone going to help at all? I don't know what else to do and who else to call...

Thank you for your advice.

Christine.

Christine,

If he is living in that area and registers to vote, or even if he has not done so, that is not the excuse they would want to give. Yes understand on Alaska saying please contact your local rep congress person, but that answer from New Mexico would not fly with me. Up to him to pursue with another government entity - my congressman who is of opposite party, is helping me out. So best of luck to you.

Cheers and hang in there - my senator only sent me his newsletter which is now considered spam junk mail, my congressman answered immediately and has assigned someone to check on what is going on.

I'd tell them, I may not have voted in the last election, but I'll be voting in the next one. Though they're not obligated to do so, they should be willing to serve and assist all the residents in their district, no matter how long they've been there, no matter their political inclination. I do seem to remember hearing that one of the longtime NM senators was not running for re-election... maybe his staffers just don't care anymore. Maybe they feel overloaded. As SusieK said, you can also try your House Rep. Good luck!

Domenici isn't running again because he's completely senile. you might try Bingaman. How did they know that he didn't vote in NM last election-there's no record of who actually votes. He should call Bingaman's office and ask to talk to the assistant that deals with immigration issues. Be careful about asking too many congressional people for help at the same time. Someone else on VJ had a problem because she contacted her congressman and one of her senators at the same time. both offices said the other one was helping her so they couldn't.

he should be polite but persistant. if he can't get the immigration LA on the phone, he should at least get their name and personal email info. I generally think that calling a senator is a better idea than congressperson because of the differences in staff sizes between the Senate and House. Call the Bingaman's office in Sante Fe or ABQ-where ever it is-rather than the office in DC

Not voting in the last election should not be a factor.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
