Hi everyone! I have a question for 1-130 filers. Does any of you thats under CR-1 procedure tried to contact congress ppl or states representatives and have gotten any help on your case? Me and my husband are trying to write letters to the congress woman and also contact the state representative and I was wondering if that's going to make any difference to speed up our case? Thank you very much for sharing experiences and opinions!!! :clock:

I contacted our senator after our case fell outside of normal processing times. I think having his office call on our behalf helped push us along given that we didn't have any extra issues going on with our case.

Seeing you just filed 2 months ago not much a congressperson can or will do. It's not until you have follow out of normal processing times will they even get involved. Or if you had an emergency, expedite issue.

TYhe first thing they will check is what is the processing times they will ask you and they will say you are within the processing time. They can not just move you to the front of the line because you contacted them.

Hang in there I hear 5 months and under they seem to be cranking them out.

I filed in June and got my i-130 approved 2 days ago...exactly 5 months and 2 days. It was processed at the Nebraska service center. I had heard so many horror stories of it taking way longer than the avg. times shown on the state website, so not sure if I got lucky or they are being more diligent nowadays.
