well it's hard to tell if it works or not... their case could have been already with the adjudicator when their congressman contacted the USCIS ;) having said that, I do hope it works as we will be asking them to expedite our petition today!

Katchoo. Congrats! :))

Honestly guys, I don't think that matters at this point! We received an email from our congress person on Monday too but I just think VSC is finally working on their back log.

They have been doing pretty good job this week so I really think our approval is not related to congress effort...

Who knows though

yeah you never know with them...one is for sure, it was a time for them to get into our boxes :) whatever else they were busy with is hopefully all done and now they can start sth they should have started long time now: APPROVING US! Anyway since many of you got approved after you passed 6 months mark , I am not expecting much today... maybe next week... feels like I am saying that since few months now but it has to happen finally doesn't it?

P.S. feels like I am talking to myself... most of you are approved haha!

It might be a coincidence but i'm sure that did not hurt ! You have nothing to lose Sabi ! Keep us posted !

will do :)
