Anyone written to a SC for status update?

I know my situation isn't as dire as some but still, I have now been waiting for over nine months for approval. My petition was at the VSC for over seven months before being sent to the CSC. I have called the hotline (yeah, as if that would help) and contacted my Senator (I was underwhelmed by their sensitivity) and finally yesterday, I sent a letter directly to the CSC. I wasn't nasty and I didn't complain, I just asked about the status of my petition. In anticipation of the worst; i.e., filing with the Ombudsman for Immigration, I just want to show that I have attempted to get some information about my status.

Just wondering, has anyone else ever written directly to a "Service" Center and if so, did you get a response even if it was just a form letter? In my home country of Canada, if you write to a government agency or an elected official, you will always get some kind of response although it may take awhile. At least that's always been my experience. Not sure if that happens here in the US.

Thanks.

When they told me my case was denied at first, I just pulled as many information I could and wrote a nice letter to the vermont service where I explained my case and included extra evidence and my NOA letter and finger prints letter and asked them really nice for an approve as soon as possible. They did not send any letter, but at least i felt better after I did what it was rigth.
