congressman
Has anyone had success with the help of a member of Congress? If so, how long did it take to receive a response? I requested assistance with my I-485.

@wildrys Rosso did you answer the rfe request? if so did they update your account after?
wildrys RossoNov 10, 2026
@JFANDANGO GREER Yes, I responded. They only requested a certificate of good conduct. The process has continued with other changes, and last year it was transferred to the Missouri office.

@wildrys Rosso contact your local congressman with help about the inquiry of your case status! if no response you can file for a writ of madamus which forces uscis to conclude your case but contacting your congressman might yield the results you are looking for!!!

@JFANDANGO GREER I’ve already done it, and I received a letter stating that an inquiry has been sent to USCIS and that I should wait 60 to 90 days for a response. What I want to know is whether anyone else has done this and if it yielded any results.

@wildrys Rosso then your next step if your are not satisfied should be to file a writ of mandamus. A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary court order that commands a government official, lower court, or public agency to properly fulfill a mandatory, non-discretionary official duty or correct an abuse of discretion. But if you have inquired with your local congressman it might take more than the allotted 90 days but im sure and most certain you would receive and update shortly as many others have posted gotten clear and confirmed updated from their local congressman.

@JFANDANGO GREER Perfect, thank you. What I’m interested in knowing is whether it has been effective—that is, whether, through a member of Congress, your case reached a final stage and you received a Green Card.
