Not to discourage you, but congressman doesn't give a damn about it.

Won't help.

What may help you in some way or to some degree is to complain to your MP.

You need to wait as it will not help you anyway.Other thing you could try applying for fulltime positions or join the vendor directly if your currently on EVC model, ask them to file H1B and go for stamping as seen few cases on the murthy forums who did that and got stamped 2nd time atleast instead of waiting for more time .., Its not suggested but may be you can try your luck.

it may or it may not. atleast i will be b satisfied that i have tried it all.

In my case congress man is trying his best to get the status of my case.Consulate is not responding properly it seems.I was asked to call again him today by Senator

Wow really... that's the way to go. I never heard about this approach.

As far as I know, you cannot, on your behalf, get the status of your case through a congressman or a senator. The only person who can do that for you is the petitioner, which is your company. I went through the same thing, and asked my employer to get the status on my case which they did through the congressman, but to no avail. He received a generic reply, which he forwarded to me saying my case is still under admin processing. Remember, he/she cannot do anything to expedite the case. They can only get the status of your case, which you can easily get the update by calling the DOS. Its just a waste of time and energy. ATB.

@221g scapegoat its true they cannot expedite the process,but surely can help getting the current status either to benificary(as in my case) or peteioner.Again if they call the DOS office they will receive the same generic answer as we do since that is the only info DOS will have updated from their end.In my case Senator is directly reaching to Consulate and requesting for updates.

Also this process can be suggestible if case is pending more that 3 months Admin Processing since less that 3 months consulate always ask to wait as general rule of Admin Processing.Affter 4 months can be questionable reason to them of the delay.

I think its worth giving a try when you case is not moving and we are sitting with no options.

Reply to Senator today forwarded to me same old pending :(
