Patiencemed Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 23 hours ago, Power said: Patience Med how do I contact senator / congressmen ! Where to start and set this up. My application is stuck with dos from past 6 months . Power, there are 2 senators in every state and there are many congressman/woman. You can contact either, they both will help you. Based on my research and talking to ppl, they say congressmen have more experience in dealing with immigration. If you decide to go with senators, this is how you must proceed : 1. Google who is the senator for your state. Go to their website and click contact. 2. Enter your details and briefly explain your current situation 3. Sign a waiver form for them to contact DOS on your behalf. 4. Your case will be assigned to a caseworker who will email DOS on your behalf if you choose to contact congressman/woman 1. Google the congressman/women in your region. 2. Select the one who is in charge of the region you live in. 3. Follow the above steps as explained under senator Remember, you can also visit their office and request to talk to immigration department. They have assigned ppl for that. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment

Hardship593 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 My I-612 has been received by USCIS on September 27, 2017. It's been almost 8 months that I haven't received any response on my case. I requested expedition through congressman but rejected. Is there anyone with similar situation? Does anyone know how long it takes for USCIS to decide on I-612 hardship waiver? thanks Quote Link to comment
Stillwaiting88 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hello Hardship593 Did you see any status change ex"case on hold" on the website or is it still showing "case received". Because mine is almost 6.5 month and still showing case received with no changes. Quote Link to comment
Hardship593 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi Stillwaiting88 My case it still says "Case Was Received". Did you send your application to California service? and is it for extreme hardship? Quote Link to comment
Ting Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) DOS received my I-612, I-613 on April 16th, 2018. I filed my case at USCIS on May 3rd, 2017.
