Hi Rebecca: Wow this is great news! Sorry I havent replied sooner but my computer has been out of commission for awhile and then I couldnt sign in as rnessman as that was my old name so I resigned as rnessman1. Looks like Sonja is back waiting at Vermont too and hopefully will get a better result this time.

salooni110,
as far as I understand it the Service Centers do still maintain phonelines for congressional staff- it's just us plebs they don't want to deal with any more
![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Anyhow- there is a story to tell about contacting the senator's office... Things really sped up on the information front after my fiancé got registered as a voter... Before, he only had gotten one initial phonecall- and the rest was silence. The day after he registered and casually mentioned it in a fax to the local rep's office the "voter service" really improved... Geee- what a system
![Roll Eyes](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Good luck for all of you-
Rebecca
(tired and sick Vermont Teddy Bear...
got my second diphtheria shot this morning... the US should be aware of all our sacrifices, LOL!)

My fiancé has started cracking jokes about his "golden age" coming to an end. I will use your statement to prove he is wrong. You sound obscenely happy after all
