Letter to senator
Hi everyone! I have filed for my husband within the past year. We received an RFE for taxes and we responded and haven’t heard anything for the past 4 months. The I-130 also stopped showing an estimated completion date and has been showing as taking longer than usual to process. A friend recommended that we send a letter to our state senator to ask for help on our case and that we would probably get an immediate answer. However, our lawyer said this should only be done in rare instances and not when the case is being normally processed. Has anyone reached out to a state senator for help and did it actually speed up the decision? Thanks!

I have checked my with Congresswoman but USCIS just responded everything is fine and processing as expected. So it did not help to expedite or something. Later I tried to expedite but they rejected. I’m waiting since September 2022 I responded RFE-tax. Hopefully we will hear back soon.
Worth to give a shot!

given the fact that the i765 hasn’t been approved, I’ll advise you reach out to uscis to request for an expedite

I wrote the ombudsman, Whitehouse and two congressmen and all were of absolutely no help. @Karolina Z unfortunately i do have to agree with your lawyer because for the most part they all just said my case is within normal processing time and that cases are processed in the order they are received so it wouldn't be fair to others if I get special treatment. what's upsetting though is that I do not believe that all cases are processed in the order that they are received.

@Sept 16, 2022 . I believe the same. There is absolutely no way they are processed in the order received

@Karolina Z I’m in the same situation as you though I filed in Oct 2022. I still haven’t gotten my EAD. A lawyer suggested I file a writ of mandamus, if I’m in dire need of the work permit.
