SA,
You are asking a State Senator to help you with an immigration problem? Now the initial comment about this being a Congressional issue becomes a bit more clear.
To be even more clear, this is a federal issue, not a state issue, and you need either a US Senator or a US Representative (both are US congress people) to help you.
Regards, JEff

I cant begin to imagine how it will be to process 8 million illegals through 4 service centers can you?

Sid,
Anything new from your meeting?
The Senator called MSC 2 different times, and they told him that we are nearing the top? Not sure what that means? I thought we were at the top back in Oct. He said that Bush has a big influx of cases now at MSC, and is backing everything up!
Hopefully today I can learn something that can be done! I will let you know what they will do!

No work Monday, so Tuesday will be the next work day, and guess what? It will be 90 days again on the RFE!

Your state senator? What influence would he possibly have on a federal
agency?

Not sure what his influence would be, but he has done more at this point than any of the 3 officals! He is doing this for a friend of mine that was on his campaign, that helped get him elected! He is just doing what he can.. he also introduced me to the US Senator, and Congressman!

Getting close to the top is interesting... I am in the same boat as you - my RFE is about 10 days after yours. I got in touch with my congresswoman last week, and they sent me a privacy release form to sign. But after I sent it back, the person in their office dealing with immigration issues was on vacation all week. Aargh... they'll be back on tuesday, so hopefully I'll get some sort of update next week.

My Congressman is awaiting a response from MSC now!
I look for something pretty quick now.. Like you said Mon is a holiday, so Tues will be the next day of business.. Lets hope we both get something positive next week!

I'd seen mention of this release form in the past but forgotten all about
it.
My fiancee has been onto her BCIS liaison at her congressman's office and
she claims to have been checking up on our case.
If we haven't sent (or been asked for) a release form to her, do you suspect
that she's just giving us the run-around?
Thanks,
Andy

They call these issues as "immigration case work".
Contact only US congressman/US senator (not state).

You are right. Congressman/Senator must have your signed release form, because they are inquiring BCIS about YOUR personal information and they can not do that without your release form. Go to any senator's web site & they will have it.(eg. Senator Barbara Mikulski from Maryland).
