Quite honestly, it's very annoying a lot of you continue to ask questions of "when to ask your congressman or woman". It's been a year. Several people have said to contact your congress individual. It changes things quickly and efficiently. I contacted my Congressman 2/6 after being the "case received" stage. Was approved 10 days later. I had an issue with my application and recontacted my congress man. they solved it in 2 days and saved me $465. Contact your congressman. Stop listening to computer generated "processing times".

I genuinely want to give everyone advice. If you have not heard back. CALL. THEM. CALL. THEM. you will literally hear back 2-3 days AFTER. also, contact your congressman or woman. Trust me!!! I got reviewed, approved, and then had an issue with my application that I filled out incorrectly and I got it fixed all under 3 weeks by CALLING. be nice.

call. be nice. you'll get results in a week after you call.

I actually don’t think that did anything. I would just call if I were you. I feel like it triggers someone to approve or look at your application.

Luckily, after calling twice and putting in a congressional review with my representative, I was approved. however…I accidentally filled our 61ab and 62ab instead of just 62ab so now they’re saying I have to fill out the i824. However, I call and asked for an adjustment becuase the i824 is known as a change. Make sure you check your documents before you get approved because if this doesn’t work I have to wait 6 months apparently again 🥲🥲

Hello, I wanted to give everyone an update as I have been reading this thread for a while for updates. My sister's application for her husband was completed March 2022. She did not have any change on her application until February 12, 2023 -- no review, just "received". I finally got fed up with the time (Potomac) and we called and they put in a note in the account (February 6th 2023). After the call, on February 12th, her application changed from Received to Actively Being Reviewed. Tip for everyone: I think you should all call. This is a very dumb process and insanely slow. We also put in a request with our Congressional Representative. Hoping to get an approval in the next week or two!
