Is it possible I can contact my ambassador for my country or local congressman to help expedite my petition? Have met and done work with ambassador and Congress and wondering if they can help?

Was scammed by old attorney and now waiting over a year and lost $4590 due to scam. New attorney is great but could still be waiting an additional 4 months for any kind of response from USCIS.  Can I contact my local Congress or ambassador to help me push this forward. Due to the fact that I've been offered a job also.

You can also try and it will not hurt at all.  At least it will ease your mind as it is something you can do.

 

I, personally, do not think congress people can do much (if anything at all).

What stage are you at and for what process? What are you applying for? Your status says AOS but you are in the DCF category.

Yeah I'm confused on how to use this site. 

Applied back in March, finger prints are also completed. Marriage based green card. 

 

From a K-1, tourist or student visa? Just to move you to the proper area.

 

And you can contact your congress person or representative, but as mentioned above, they usually don't do much more than "nudge" USCIS. Ambassadors probably won't even respond or touch it.

A job offer is a reason to seek an expedite, a scam lawyer is not.
