or you can contact the Ombudsman, but you're looking at a long wait.  Worth it for me though!  Here's the link:

you can start by finding your local DEMOCRATIC senator here on this website.   They are most likely to help you.   Go to their website and look for "help" page.  

The congressman in my area is a Republican, and we had a great service, we got in touch one day, and the other one had already contacted the USCIS, not all regions have Democratic congressmen

How is this done? Do you just contact them and they help you check your case? Do they charge you for this service? Thanks for your help, this is new to me.

No they do not charge.   This is a service for the USC.   Yes, you contact them and they help you (if they can and are willing).  If you can't find a link for help on their website, you can certainly call.  Many of them have staff members dedicated to helping USC's navigate government agencies.   For example, my senator was Bob Casey.  He has a staff member that is solely dedicated.  She was amazing and requested an update from USCIS every 30 days on our behalf.

This is awesome news! I'm going to contact them. I hope this can expedite our process.

I was approved on February 2nd!!  Finally... we did have a marriage interview too.  What is the next step?  What for NVC to contact me?  We are till working on our I601A waiver, so I'm not in a rush.

Parabéns!!!!!! O que causou esse tipo de atraso? Você foi transferido para o escritório local? Todos apenas sentado no centro de Nebraska por quase um ano?

Thank you, no transfers, just waiting for an approval, we did not have RFE, we were always in contact with the USCIS, and the only information we had is that I was waiting for a supervisor to review, that lasted long days, but thank God we got the dream Approval.

So sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing anything you can to be proactive.

Even if you don't see immediate results, it beats waiting around...   I hope you get approved soon.
