Mom, I’ve tried to contact with the KCC about 2nd NL. But they are sending standard answers. Should I try again? Or going to interview without the 2NL is fine?

Just forget about 2NL and attend your interview later on (2NL has NEVER been a must have for the AOS). Your IO will request the KCC file and he/she will evaluate the documents when it comes to the decision.

as milz has suggested 2NL is not mandatory.. ..2NL just says you have opted to do OAS thats it. I filed without 2NL and was never asked about it in the interview.

You don't need to do anything else. If the bio letter shows up and it happens to be scheduled for before the interview date, you attend the bio first. Take a look at the FAQ section of the AOS spreadsheet for more on receiving the IL before or without the bio being scheduled or completed.

Thank you mom! However, as mentioned on FAQ there is a risk that immigrant officer rescheduling the interview if I have not done Bio at that point (according to the first point). Since I couldn't ask USCIS about this I don't have anything to avoid it.

I have asked my Congresswoman for help, I should be hearing back from them soon.

The IO will use their discretion in scheduling the bio appointment at the FO or the ASC (if there isn't one inside the FO), especially as the FY is coming to an end. Of course you can keep calling USCIS and hope you're lucky to get connected with a tier 2 personnel who may be willing to schedule the bio, or contact your Congress person and hope they can connect the NBC on your behalf.
 
Hey everyone! I've been anxiously waiting for bio/interview notices for Philly's office it's been 6 weeks since the NOA... From the spreadsheet, I see that we may contact either the US House of Representatives/ the US congressperson. I see on the website they are two different people so my ques is when people talk about congressional inquiry is it about reaching the US House of Representatives or the US congresspeople? Is there any difference?
Thank you!!
 
I've been waiting 50 days since my NoA and haven't received either a bio letter or interview letter. At least one other person in the same FO has their interview letter, and their NoA was almost a month after mine. I asked USCIS for a Tier 2 callback, and I'm expecting that in around 2 weeks.

Should I wait before contacting a congressperson, or would it be ok to go ahead anyway and ask for help even though I'm waiting on USCIS to call me back?
 
I am in the same boat, just reached 7 weeks and 2 days since NOA. And no Bio or interview.
I was suppose to get a tier 2 callback within 72 hours (that never happened).
Tried calling again, couldn’t get past the tier 1 agent this time around. They just said to wait until 30 days before the diversity visa ends for the year (September 30) and then they MIGHT be able to push for a bio and interview date.

What’s my options going forward?
Don’t mind ruffling a few feathers considering that I don’t think I have anything to lose at this point.

Hey, 6 weeks here, Philly seems to be extremely slow :( If we do not hear anything this week we're likely to start a congressional inquiry next week... I'm wondering whether two simultaneous inquiries ( if you consider one too) could reinforce each other and speed things up...

I don’t think we should wait a week.
the sooner the better.

does anyone have any information on how to start a congressional inquiry?

That kind of sounds like they have been given pretty specific criteria under which they can expedite for DV.
