Can anyone who has reached out to a congressman/senator explain how the process works?

Since yesterday was day 75, i asked for a service request, but they mentioned that USCIS has 30 days to respond, which seems insane to me. :-)

Do you contact your senator, or congressman? And if so, how? Over the phone? Email? Visit the office personally?

Hoping to try some sense of where things are, because they seem to have just stalled.

I opened up an inquiry and contacted my Senator on day 75. I called and emailed my Senator. The Senator's office got back with me the same day, they had me fill out a privacy form to allow thier office to make an inquiry to USCIS on my behalf. Within 24 hours the Senator's office gave me a status on all my cases (485, 130, 765 & 131), than an hour later my case status for the EAD card changed to card in production. I like to think it was my Senator that pushed this along rather than my inquiry to USCIS..definitely think it is worth it to try!

Yeah I plan to do the same. Tuesday will be day 75 if I start counting from all my NOA1 dates.

We will contact our representative after that. I am hoping that they will be able to speed up the process.

Btw Pasquel what did your sentaor's office tell you about the I-485 and interview?

Yeah I plan to do the same. Tuesday will be day 75 if I start counting from all my NOA1 dates.

We will contact our representative after that. I am hoping that they will be able to speed up the process.

Btw Pasquel what did your sentaor's office tell you about the I-485 and interview?

They just said that the I-485 is marked ready for interview but my case status still says "Recieved fingerprint fee". So I guess I just wait and see.

Congrats kkjiang. What a fast journey. I was looking at your Local field's time processing ( https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do;jsessionid=abctF-3KD7spv86R8o31u ) and it shows that they are now working on applications from september 2014 which is not accurate ( unless i'm mistaken ) since you got your interview scheduled already. I guess the time processing on uscis website are not accurate then.. kinda good news for the rest of us. Let's hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed.
