To find your congressman, use this website https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
The second inquiry was made because the first one never got a response.
Also, do not ask for expedite processing for 485, this might get denied help from congressman if you don't have urgent reasons, thus it cannot reach USCIS. just ask for a status inquiry if it hasn't been moving for a long time. Or just ask them to confirm pd is current, say you are worried that uscis is not documenting pd correctly to cause the delay for approval

@SH Ha Jul-8 Inquiry from congress to USICIS, July-22 I followed up with email asking congress office for update, Jul-24 Congressperson replied with USCIS response “Case is processing normally and its with 12 months since filing”

@f s
Step-1: Google search the name of congress person who is serving your city/zipcode
step-2 go to their website (every congressperson has a website)
step-3 Look under services they offer it should state “Help with a Federal agency”
step-4 Follow instructions provided

I did raise 2 SR then finall through congressional inquiry through Senate office helped to ky case at least officer is assigned and they issue RFE
so yes, congressional inquiry helps if case is outside normal processing time
