Political representatives have no jurisdiction over the USCIS or DoS. That being said, if he/she takes a particular interest in your case an inquiry may or may not blow the dust off your petition and move it through the system a bit faster. It is commonly felt that such an inquiry typically will not have any effect, or at least will not in most cases.

There are clear rules that govern expediting cases, most of which do not apply to the common lot of us.

But if you wish to solicit assistance, every Congressman/woman has a Privacy Act Consent Form and/or Data Form that you need to -- by law -- download, sign, and fax back to their office before they can act on your behalf.

Good luck.

If a request for assistance is justified by a special circumstance our a case taking longer than 5 months at a service center, I recommend contacting your State's senior US Senator, not a congressperson. In your case that's John Kerry's office. If you don't have a special circumstance, the staff will know their boss BECAME influential by the prudent use of power and will politely do nothing that actually helps.
