Senator or Congressman or both

[ADMIRE MY PS 0]

Hello all,

We have been on AP for close to 8 weeks now, but three weeks ago we were promised by the embassy that within 2 weeks, we shall hear from them. It's been more than 2 weeks and nothing from them yet.

I contacted my congressman, and they emailed the embassy got a reply saying we were still on AP. My congressman rep says they can only email the embassy, they can't make calls to the embassy. How can I convince my congressman's rep to call rather than email?

Can I use my senator as well or that will be too much?

I have decided not to call them this week hoping we hear from them.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Having multiple congressional reps involved probably will not speed AP. The Senators aide will do the same inquiry the Congressman aide did, and they prefer you pick one to help and stick with them.

If you have an attorney and a representative agreement on file with the Embassy they can go through their channels and get an advisory opinion. Compared to the length of AP for some posters, 8 weeks while aggravating is not uncommon or that out of the norm, so don't worry so much. They are probably waiting on some extra security checks from another agency

good luck
