14 days of waiting is nothing. If you take a look at the Timeline spreadsheet, you’ll see at least one case from your FO that completed the process with a waived interview and how long the process took for them. Personally, I think requesting congressional assistance at this point is a waste of useful resources.
Hi Mom,
My medical examination RFE response was delivered on 8th of Aug to USCIS. I checked with Emma, and the agent mentioned that my case is with the Dallas Field Office and the last update was on August 10th. But they couldn't confirm if my evidence is reviewed yet maybe they only received it. Should I email the Field Office for an update, or is it time to contact a Senator or Congressman for assistance?
Thank you.

Hello, I still didn't receive any appointment for biometric and interview. Last action on my case is "fingerprint fee was received" on July 14th. I have created ticket on USCIS website last week. I requested tier2 call (im in non-urgent list). I also wrote to congressman. Is there anything else I can make to take attention to my case? Is there any approximate timing on Tier2 call back after such requests/tickets?
Hi, how did you request for tier2 call?
I know but they have 30 days to respond and dv time ends in nearly 40 days. Will there be any consequences of doing congressional inquiry? Or is there Any other way to follow up about the case?

The agents have no way of knowing if a requested document has been reviewed or not, a Tier 2 agent wouldn't know either. The IOs often do not immediately jump on documents received due to issued RFEs due to the workload they're dealing with. I personally think you just need to remain patient (in view of the fact that your FO has been waiving interview for DV based AOS applications). You however can write the FO if you like (no guarantee the mail will make it's way to your assigned IO). You can also initiate a congressional case assistance if you want to feel like you're doing something as against just waiting at this point.

When did you initiate your congressional case assistance? A Tier 2 call back could be in 30 days.

Outside of them being reluctant to initiate the requested case follow up assistance? I don't think there's any other consequence.

I just observed the screenshot of the denial notice which you shared in your post say "You have not established that you are eligible for adjustment under INA 245. Therefore, USCIS must deny your Form I-485" - This I believe is THE main reason for your case denial and NOT necessarily due to early filing.
What did you select for Part 2 Question 2 "Are you applying for adjustment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)" on your I-485? If you selected "YES", that is the main reason for your case denial. Filing a Motion to Reconsider will not overturn this decision. You should have selected "NO" - it's a pity your IO did not reach out to give you an opportunity to correct this minor error, like some other IOs did for AOSers who also unknowingly selected the wrong response on the application.
Last Thursday (8/17) I received email from congressman office saying they submitted request for my case status and they will call right back to me as they talk to an agent.
You should type or tell "Infopass" on Emma or when you call USCIS phone number. Then a real agent should directly join. Otherwise ask to speak with real agent. Then tell your problem and ask to talk to a Tier 2 agent. They will add you to the list.

Your interview letter however specifically says to bring along an I-864 though, so the question is are you planning on taking an I-864 along to your interview?
Are the required documents in my interview notice specifically made for my case, or do they include them for every interview notice they send?

I’ve not seen your IL, so I have no idea.
I don’t know if you can accept private messages but there is a section at the bottom that says “you must bring the following with you:
ID, medical exam (unless submitted),
i-864 with supporting documents: w-2, tax returns, and evidence of us citizenship/ PR (unless submitted);
all documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status;
Any immigration related document issued to you;
All travel documents;
Petitioner birth certificate and evidence of citizenship;
Original and copy of documents;
Certified translation;
Some marriage stuff;”

Seems like they sent you a generic IL.
Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be unusual for the IO to insist on you submitting financial documents to demonstrate you’re unlikely to become a public charge. @megha_ is a recent example - she was asked to submit an I-134 at the end of her interview even though the IL never mentioned it. She was given a couple of hours to submit the requested documents. Being fully prepared for any such eventuality is always recommended.
Understood. Thank you! I have one question about it though. So let’s say the sponsor has a salary of 60k a year, but hes already sponsoring 5 people. Will he need to be making more money if I want to be sponsored as well? Can you guide me to an article that explains how much the sponsor should exactly be making when he has other dependents?
