I think it is really a bad idea to contact congressman even before the official processing time of INS crosses the ND. Previously applicants used to wait until the processing time passes, before contacting congressman. Looks like people are loosing patience but not realising that there are thousands of applicants before them waiting for their turn with patience. Let's not mess with BCIS. If this trend picksup, who owns, BCIS might come with new ideas that might effect all of us. Then we will loose the one option available when we really need it.
