You can do what I did. I contacted my Senator because he is a Republican and I am a registered Republican and I told him that I voted for him and that I would appreciate if he now helped me. He was just elected to office this past fall. His name is Scott Brown. He did help us because it was brought up by the inteviewer at the embassy during my wifes interview. The interviewer stated that I must want my wife in the USA very quickly because I had contacted my Senator.

I agree that you should contact both like the others have stated.

Remember either will not do anything for you if at the time you contact them via their websites is less than the minimum 5 month wait period at the USCIS.

If you have a democratic representative they are the most amenable to Immigration issues, and I would contact that office if available. Failing that use the Congrss/Senators office with a sub-office you can actually drive to.

It is redundant and unecessary to contact 2 Senators and the Congressmans office as it wastes time and energy and just clogs the system with duplicate inquiries.

Advice to the contrary is ignorant of the fact that congressional inquiries require a response so if you have 3 people fighting over the file or looking for it instead of one, thats two people that aren't processing files and doing the normal workload of the office. People wonder why processing takes so much time, because they have the USCIS personnel running around like chickens with thier heads cut off responding to congressionals.
