Contacting Elected Representatives Pre-emptively

[3AD 0]

Going into a high fraud embassy, I'm wondering if it would be helpful to do anything proactively with regard to letting officials know about your case, the fact that the embassy is high fraud, familiarizing them with the visa process, etc.

Has anybody done anything *before* having a problem ... I've seen people making contact after the fact, but what about up front?

Thanks,

It would be good idea to find out which representative devotes staff to following up with immigration cases. Some do, and some don't, it depends on your Congressional representative. You might call their office and at least feel them out on this, ask some "what if" questions, etc. They probably won't be interested in monitoring your case until there are problems, usually after the interview. They are already busy trying to coax answers out of the Consulates for the many cases they already have. Most likely the staff of representative's offices are acutely aware of the fraud in certain countries and also the frustration of dealing with the Consular corps.

3AD,

If one expects to have a problem with their case, the person to contact 'up front' is an immigration attorney.

In your case, you might want to Google an immigration attorney by the name of Ellis.
