If you live in Kentucky, and you write your cogresswoman and ask for assistance about Immigration issues, be sure to get a letter back from some "staffer" saying that she can NOT help you, not even with a phonecall. She can't help in any way.

Why not change her website then, which states that if you need Immigration assistance, to just contact her.
I bet she didn't even see the letter.

Hi

Why not print out the web site page where it says she will help and send it all back.

Dutchman,

This is disturbing, as I live in KY also. What congresswoman did you try to contact? Ann Northup? I was told to contact her office by phone if I had issues or wanted them to do an inquiry.

I'm not in Kentucky but I had a visa inquiry previously and phoned my senator's office. I ended up in contact with one of the staffers who was a liason with immigration. I was given here direct number and found that she was very easy to deal with and very helpful. I deffinitly think that calling is the way to go. Generally they like to keep their constituents happy. Best of Luck!!!

I contacted Ann Northup (as well as my 2 senators) during my I-129F process. They did an inquiry for me and mailed me a letter stating the BCIS processing times and there was nothing they could do to have my case expedited. Fair enough.

If your congressperson won't help......call one or both of your Senators.


Cheers,

Hi Dutchman,

What kind of help did you ask for? Or were you just trying to get information?

Maybe it's a case of she doesn't want to help and not can't help you. For example, her politic view might lean towards anti-immigration.

Hi Leslie,
Wy wife wrote the Congresswoman a letter, asking if there is anything we can do to speed up the process.

Hi sunflwrgrl13
It was Ann Northrup.

Why do you think yours should be speeded up at the expense of someone elses slowing down? Just wait your turn like everyone else has done.
Only one good thing ever came of KY and that is I-71 all the way to COLUMBUS, OH!!!!

Leslie

Maybe he just wanted to speed up the process in general (for everyone), don't get your knickers in a twist BritishInOhio!!


Dutchman,

I think maybe she was just being honest in her reply.
The politicians can't help too much until there is a "problem" and they don't consider the process being slow a "problem". Even though we know it is a BIG problem. I think that they could have shown a little more sensitivity to your inquiry though.

Good Luck,
Leslie

Exactly. I was told the same thing by Ann Northup and both my senators. It's not that they do not want to help, it is that they are unable to. BCIS has posted processing times that everyone has to equally deal with.

What was the issue you needed help with?
If it is simply because the process is slow, they might not be able to
help, it is too slow for most people.

That's right.... we were only asking general questions.
I wish I could just wiggle my nose and that all of us would be with eachothers partner.. In the right order ofcourse :-)
