You contact your US Senator that works in Washington D.C. as this immigration process is a federal and not a state program.

Now I am confused. I was told by a few and seen a few on here who contacted their state senator? Not sure what to think now.

I know right!! I'll just sit and wait for my approval. I am really sick and tired Of the whole process. Is in God's hands Thanks by the way 

Actually, @KozmicBlues and a few others reached out to their state senators and got their NOA2's approved... so you could try your state senator anyways, since I'm doing the same and many others have done it as well.

I think this may be a language issue. You contact one of your state's two senators, the ones that go to work in Washinton for half the year.

 

They can be looked up at https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

 

state senators go to work at your state's capitol and can't help you in any way.

It's because the same term is used for both DC congressional delegates and upper legislative house delegates in many states. For example: Here in Utah I have 2 state senators that represent me in Washington D.C. and one state senator that represents me in the Utah State Legislature. All three are called state senators, but only two of them have anything to do with Washington DC and the federal government.

I completely confused myself. I'm gonna look over everything again and see where I went wrong.

I gotcha now. Sorry about that. Hopefully I contacted the right one.  I'm gonna check into that now.

So this might still sound dumb, but did I contact the right senator for PA? I contacted Bob Casey.

It says he is in Washington? So I'm not sure if he is a federal senator or not.

 @AfricanQ yep I contacted my Senator's office and got an approval dated the same day they inquired with USCIS on my behalf. They also replied to the Senator advising them of the approval. I still have no idea if it's just coincidence that it was already being approved on the same day, but that would be a huge coincidence so I'm leaning more towards their inquiry prompting the approval. Either way, it doesn't hurt at all to contact them and see if they can get a response on your petition for you.

No, it doesn't hurt. Seeing your approval really inspired me, so to speak. I'm hoping I have the same results. I'd be so happy! But anyways, congrats on your approval! I know we have similar dates... I have a good gut feeling which is pretty much accurate most of the time. I think I'll get my golden ticket this month.  Just keeping that hope, you know?

Just got off the phone with NVC, and I have a case number! My case was approved 7/18, NVC received it on 7/28, and the case number was assigned 8/2, for anyone with similar timelines. It's still "At NVC" according to the tracker but it's something!

That's awesome!! Mine was approved on 7/24 so I think I will call Monday or Tuesday to see if they have it yet.

How long did it take you to get word back from your senator on your approval after you contacted him? Just curious.
