I just think contacting your congressman should be reserved for when something has gone wrong and you're outside processing times, not just because you're impatient. USCIS posts timelines for a reason

Welcome aboard! It looks like we got married on the same day ^,^

Yes, it is a little difficult to find because the ASC doesn't face the street (Route 59). If you're familiar the area, you'll know it's not too far from the Fox Valley Mall. There is a Wal-Mart/Sam's Club across the street from the mall, and the ASC is in a strip mall that is facing the Sam's Club but facing AWAY from Route 59. It says Application Support Center on it in red letters.

Edit: Mapquest returns decent enough directions to at least get you to the general area if you aren't familiar with it.

Thanks, Yeah, I've done the mapquest thing. We plan on getting there a coupla of hours early to find the place .... and maybe get in and out before 11 am. :)

I am not have having nerve problems because of Visa Journey Site and the timeline predictions and group of us in the October filers. Our K1 process was very close to the timeline I expected for Igors List. I was very careful in preparation of all the documents and am confident our application is complete. The resources from this web site and all the supportive members make this an easier process.

So my husband called USCIS on Wednesday about his cases not showing up online. He managed to get past the first level and on to a second tier support person. They told him nothing is wrong with his file, it just hasn't been put online yet, and to keep checking - that it should be online within another week. Just as I thought, no real help. If he doesn't get a bio appt by 30 days we'll be calling back. Though I know August filers in my area were waiting two months for their bio appointments. I was hoping we wouldn't have to. :(

I'm the USC petitioner.
