Congressman's Office Emails :BOINK:

[mysweetlips 5]

Following are email responses from a case worker from my Congressman's Office.

Thank you for contacting Congressman George Miller’s office. I am attaching a Privacy Act Release Form to this email. This form allows the office to use your information to make inquiries with federal agencies on your behalf. Please fill it out and attach any pertinent copies of paperwork that will be useful in working on your case. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Hello Ms. XXX,

You’re very welcome. Unfortunately, due to Congressional Courtesy, we do not intervene in a case that is already being looked into by Senator Feinstein’s office.

Sincerely,

Hello Ms. ,XXX

I am sorry that your case has been delayed for so long. There are no two cases alike and the Department of State does not respond positively simply because of additional inquiries by different offices. Your case could be in administrative processing for any one of a number of issues. However, If you believe that you have been discriminated against please contact the Office of the Inspector General:

To complain about how you were treated by an embassy or consulate employee, attempt to resolve the issue with that U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

If you are unable to do so for any reason, contact the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Hotline in the U.S. Department of State (DOS):

Online: File a report or complaint

E-mail: OIGHotline@state.gov

Phone: Call 1.800.409.9926 or 1.202.647.3320

Mail: Department of State

Office of Inspector General Hotline

PO Box 9778

Arlington VA 22219

Please allow the office of Diane Feinstein time to resolve your case. If I can be of any other assistance please contact me.

Thank you for your email. USCIS’ hiring practices are based on applications not on Congressional inquiries- especially duplicitous inquiries. However, if you would like to forward me the contact information of the other offices, asking for our office to make an inquiry, I would be happy to collaborate in any way that might help your case along. Our office will not make an inquiry until the period stated in the response to your initial inquiry has lapsed which is mid-April and only after Sen. Feinstein’s office gives us authorization. Have a good week.

Sincerely,

a well placed donation into Sen Feinstein's office should speed along your inquiry.

Just saying.

They didn't look into your case at all. They confuse DHS with DOS. They confuse the petition wait with AP. They didn't bother to even understand what the process, and therefore the problem, is.

I would call the congressman's office and ask to speak to someone. I would not let this stay where they tried to leave it. Keep it civil. Keep it polite. But don't let your rights be trampled on in this way.

FWIW, this is why I said in another post that I would never let on to a senator or congressman's office that I was talking to another one. They will just pass the buck.

Duplicate topic removed, first topic moved from K-1 process to K-1 progress reports as this is a progress report not a k-1 process.

You are so correct! I should relocate to another city where they have a more responsive Congressperson. In the end, the bottom line is to just wait... My visajourney timeline has finally caught up to the date Sen. Feinstein's office advised me to followup with them if there is no approval yet--which is April 12. My NOA1 date is Aug. 22.
