Exactly - interns handle these and it depends on their diligence. I would also like to add that my Senator was up for a re-election and it was a hard fought re-election so they may have been working very hard to get my husband's vote (which they did lol). I gave examples of my experience from each of my representative's offices. The Sen Rosen office gave me a run around and wasted my time for weeks (she was not up for re-election in 2022). Then I contacted both my other Senator and the House Representative for my area. The interns at Sen Cortez-Masto were just really good at their jobs when I contacted them multiple times for different cases.

Hello, It depends on how good is your member of congress in advocating on your behalf. They have access to "USCIS liaison". I have their email address still but I will not give it out as it was forwarded to me by my caseworker. I live in NV so I was lucky to have Sen Cortez-Masto (D) as she helped us multiple times first on EAD back in 2021 then green card approval in Dec 2022 due to outside processing times. The other Senator Rosen (D) did a poor job when I first contacted them; and our Congressman Amodei (R) ignored our request. You just have to find your correct member of congress that will advocate on your behalf. Please follow up with the person you contacted. If there is no resolution, try the other senator or congressman for DC. I am not sure how many member of congress you have for DC but in NV, we have 3 (the ones that I mentioned above). Good luck.

Hello VJ Community, I am just posting this for anyone who may be wondering whether USCIS reads or considers unsolicited evidence you upload to your USCIS online account when no RFE is requested. Based on our case, I would say yes after receiving my A-file via FOIA. My AOS was approved last month after waiting for over 1.5 years. Along the way, we accumulated more evidence to make our case stronger. My husband uploaded a new I-864 when I finally got a US job with evidence as the first one submitted at initial filing was very weak. We also uploaded new evidence of bona fide marriage that we accumulated since filing. Being a "curious George", I elected to see what USCIS has about me so I requested my A-file via FOIA online. I received the ~1000 pages that USCIS has about me 10 days after FOIA request. The file showed that they used the unsolicited evidence to approve our case and waive our interview. We meant to give them an updated I-864 in our interview but I am glad we uploaded online instead. Our case was approved without interview. I always wondered whether USCIS uses unsolicited evidence that you upload and based on my FOIA A-file, they did. All unsolicited evidence that I thought made my case stronger were used. I just wanted to share.
