Conversation with DOS agent about AP/AR

[MaryandMian 1]

Congressional offices usually handle immigration issues. I know personally my congressman would not inquire on my behalf and I asked my Senator to do so for me. His aid did mail the embassy two times on our behalf and both times she got canned responses "of this applicant is on AP and we will contact them once we are ready to proceed."

Depending on whom is in your state some persons do have better luck than I did. I will also say you will need to give the office a release form and once you do this the embassy will not talk to you or respond to your emails. The release form is usually located on their website.

Good luck.

I don't understand what you mean by that. I have faxed the release form to the senators

aid. Are you saying that from now on the embassy will no longer answer my personal

emails like they did before due to the release form for the senators office ? I am confused.

I don't understand what one has to do with the other, I prefer to continue to get emails

from the embassy when I inquire about my status.

They said they will contact us when the investigation is complete also.....will that

not be done now ?

No, I haven't tried contacting a Senator or Congressperson. I think I'll wait until the 5 month mark to do that. I'm just thinking it's enough now.

Why on Gods Green Earth are you waiting to contact a senator or congressman?... get to it now.... I contacted my congressional office as soon as I found out i was on AR/AP.... Hasnt helped much with my case, however when the consulate gets an inquiry every week from my congressmans office..at least they reply and they know we are on the ball here.

VJ had server problems and was not able to get back into the site to answer you. I know that the few of us that did have a congressional or senatorial aid work on our cases when we emailed the embassy they never replied once we gave our rights to the staff. When they were ready to ajudicate the visa in our case they sent my husband a letter to come back to the embassy.

I would really prefer to keep getting emails from the embassy myself. I will email them in about 3-4

weeks from now and see if they respond, I will update here.

Even if the replies are just canned...still it feels kind of like a life line to remind them we are

still here and for them to acknowledge that. I just don't want to fall through the cracks.

Another thing if they mail my fiance that the AP is completed, he would never get the mail due to terrible mail service. He has also relocated to another city.

I keep reminding the embassy to call and email both of us instead of writing.

Does the embassy need to know during the AP that he started working again ?

He was unemployed during he interview time.
