Additional Processing

[luckytxn 2,265]

I called my congressman office (Jim McDermott)and spoke to a Lady. She asked me about my situation and I told her everything about my case and the status. She told me that based on the status of my case, there is nothing they can do to help since the AP stated that they need time for additional processing and that we have to give time for them to process. Also, congressman doesn't me personally, so they can't write a letter.

She told me that if my case is denied or it has been more than the time frame for processing stated by the US Consulate in HCM, then they can help push that.

I told her that if I'm going to get the denial, then it is too late to get the congressman involve.

I don't know how else Congressman can help me at this point. Should I approach the Congressman office in a different way?

Any advice is appreciated.

I am surprised that she was so dismissive. Jim McDermott is a very powerful Congressman too. Do as Scott says and wair a few weeks and call again. There is not much that they can actually do though but it is nice that they can get a status check in the records. It also shows you are being active in trying to get a visa.
