sanju13, thanks for posting that letter format to the Senator. I had sent a similar email to Sen. Rick Santorum's office. They got back after a week asking for my DOB and Receipt #. Someone on this forum had posted a scary message that asking a Senator for help might trigger a local transfer, the waiting time at Philly is almost a year to schedule an interview. So I asked them (Sen. Office) to put the inquiry on hold. Now you've given me some hope to proceed with the inquiry through the Senator's Office. Like kash777 asked, how sure are you that the Senator's help made all the difference and it wasn't just coincidence that your case was approved. Let me know. Thanks in advance.
