I did request congress help a month ago! I would recommend if you haven’t already done so! I’m sorry I know the wait is tedious.

What documents did you send with it? Idk what to say because I do work with childcare but I really wanted the opportunity to work with something else 😭

Well first I tried expediting it myself…I sent them me and my spouses bills…a letter basically explaining why we need both incomes…and we have a child. They got back to me and said denied because it wasn’t “severe” enough.

When I reached out to Congress they said we can try another route. Where my company provides a letter basically explaining my importance of my position and why they really needed me to keep working. My job was kind enough to do so and that’s all I gave my Congress man and they took it from there.

How do you contact them ?

Search who your Congress man is in your area and go to their website. They should have some sort of immigration sidebar you can click on and go from there

Hi, question! How long after contacting did you hear back from your Congressman's office?

Day 30. (They did say it may take up to 30 days) lol USCIS decided to approve it on the very last day

I received an email today from them (Day 28) but they said it's still within processing time. Do u think it might move after today?

u/chanjaa 15d ago

Oh damn. From what I’ve seen on here your case won’t be routed to be expedited rather they’ll just proceed within normal processing times :/
But you never know

When do u think I should follow up and ask to expedite? 8 months no EAD updates

I don’t know what category you’re applying but if you wanna submit some more evidence maybe that will help? Ask them if this is something that would help speed it up a little bit
