AP - Should I contact a Congressman ?

[chola]

Folks:
3rd AP, RD: May 15, 2003; Recd EAD in July, (TSC).
485, ND aug. 2001; H1 expired.

Mother-in-law just recuping from a lung surgery, and my dad recuping from a prostate surgery that became complicated. Have bought tickets to visit them in the last week of dec '03.

64K q: Should I proactively contact a congressman (Raleigh, NC) and see what can be done to ensure we get the AP on time.
or
Just sit tight and wait for the AP.

Extremely concerned as thanksgiving and christmas approach fast. BCIS I bet will slow down work. Certainly not an emergency but I just can't afford not to make the trip as aged parents are waiting to see my new-born infant as well.
Any input is appreciated.
thx
chola

After 60 days you can contact local office for AP. If no luck at local office then contact Congressman immediately.

chola - Sorry to hear your predicament. Many of us are unable to make any foreign trips due to this bloody AP.

However, "julfl" got AP approved from a local office. Hope this thread helps you: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103041
