Hi Dew_drops,

Our case is handled by a lawyer however, every time I call her and ask her the progress of our petition, the answer I always get is we are within the processing time and even when I challenge her by saying the VB is advancing, she always replies that there is nothing she can do apart from waiting until our petitions has passed the normal processing time. Therefore, I gave up asking her any questions because I get more answer from Visa Journey forums than our lawyer. She is useless and my husband always gets annoyed that why we did not file the petitions by ourselves. I also agree with @Appel21 suggestion because if we all contact our congress representatives we can see a change soon because they will put pressure on the service centre. Here in Britain if anyone contacts their local MP (Member of Parliament) they can get an answer really quick because they have a power to pressure things. @Appel21 can you please share the link to find the details of congressman? Many thanks in advance.

To check who your Congressman/Representative is, go here (search by zip code): http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

Click on your district's Cong./Rep. and it will divert you to their official webpage. Look for the "HELPING YOU" button, choose HELP WITH A FEDERAL AGENCY (CASEWORK) and follow the instructions. This is what we did.

Good luck!

Thank you so much and I submitted an email request and I hope we will hear something soon.

Hello All,

I think we all should do what I did and follow the link from Appel21 reponse because it will put a lot of pressure on the service center. Please do it as soon as possible so that VSC will be bombarded with emails and calls from the congressman means that they will be forced to look into our cases. If anyone hears anything please update here. Thank you so much again @Apple21. Good luck to us.

No problem.

Preferably (and this is what we did) fill out the CASE AUTHORIZATION FORM so they can get access to your case at USCIS. Send it thru fax (much quicker than mailing) together with a copy of your NOA1.

Good luck!

That was too quick from you to send inquiry regarding ur case from congressmen.... But its better to act now rather than waiting.... As far as my case is concerned I m waiting for processing dates to be published...

But if our case is current USCIS hav to approve our petition coz they cannot hold cases if a particular case is current and a visa number is available.... That is not possible..... I think by this month end or next month we should hear sumthg ....

Hi Dew_drops,

submitting an email request is not something that will take a year to do and if you follow the link and instructions that @apple21 provided you will find all the info you need to submit your request. For the question about what I have mentioned in my email is I have explained our situation and provided all the info they need in order for them to investigate our case and also there is a form you fill out to give them a permission to access our case when they contact the service center.

It is up to you to follow which ever direction is best for you however,by the looks of it VSC does not look like they are going to start processing petitions beyond September 30.

@Susan,send your husband the link and ask him to follow the options to do both email request and fill out the form so that they can access your case. All the best darling and rather than waiting it is better to act on it now and I think we have Waited enough.

I will not feel bad now because I have used all my options. All the best of luck to all of us.

I am in the same boat as you and what I did was I sent the draft email with the completed form for my husband and he submitted it therefore, you can do the same like what I did which is send a draft to your wife then she can submit the email as well as fax the form so that they can access your record when they contact Uscis on your behalf. All the best and if you have any further question please don't hesitate to ask.

Your Welcome and I hope it all goes well for us. I think you will probably have the same congressman because my husband also lives in Alexandria, VA. If that is the case you can follow the link to send an email directly to him: http://beyer.house.gov/forms/writeyourrep/?zip5=22303&zip4= and This is to find the form to give them an access : http://beyer.house.gov/constituent-services/casework/casework.htm
