The other Florida senator, Marco Rubio, has just taken office and apparently has not yet set up a website. So you should stick with Nelson for now, and also whomever the member of the U.S. House of representative for your area currently is (here is a website that allows you to find out exactly who that is: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml )

looks like I can only contact nelson for now since my congressman is also new...... Thank you for all your help!
to wilsonmago:
I suggest you make another infopass appointment - my first infopass did not yield any results.
Fortunately, during my second infopass, the immigration officer had dealt with this type of case before (twice unclassifiable fingerprints). He mentioned something like there's a way to do this, dialed a number that I believe was an extension, spoke to someone by first name (which led me to believe that it was someone at the local office) and asked if my number was there and that it be moved to the interview queue.
It will be helpful to gently suggest to the immigration officer that your file is at the local office, that he/she has to contact the appropriate person for your name to be manually moved to the interview line. [BigJoe5 gave such useful info]
And of course, you can contact your congressperson - immigration problems are one of the most frequent ones they help out with.

I got a letter from USCIS yesterday. It said "your case has been randomly chosen for an interview. We are awaiting scheduling information from your local district office. If you wish, you may schedule an infopass........".
I hope this is a good sign?

Amazing, your case has been "randomly" selected for interview? USCIS needs to better, once NBC gets a schedule from your local office, an interview letter will be mailed to you, that's all it means.

My status finally changed to "Testing and Interview" today. I think my interview is coming soon.... I think I will go ahead to get the police clearance (due to finger print double reject) again since I got mine on May, 2010 and it may not be valid now......
All in all, I think those letters may very likely helped my case....

When astronauts push buttons, the shuttle moves to another dimension, so Ben Nelson's efforts are paying off. Marco Rubio just arrived in Washington, DC so he won't be setting up any office, but he must surely be sending shirtless photos of himself to craiglist women...lol!!!! Go ahead and just prepare with those police clearances, to be one step ahead of the game for USCIS.
Even more rare, you encountered someone at the front counter who actually knew what to do!!!
BigJoe5, I need your knowledgeable help again!
I finally went for my interview on Feb 1. Everything went on smoothly until the interviewing officer (her title is assistant district immigration officer) asked me for police clearances.
I showed her the city AND state police clearances (all clean and current) - she said that local office policy requires COUNTY police clearance. So I showed her my letter which states that if a state report can be obtained, it is preferred over all other reports - the reason for my obtaining a state clearance. She said "OK, I'll go by the letter."
At the end of the interview, she congratulated me, I'd passed and that I should be receiving a letter for time and date of oath ceremony.
However, on Feb 8, I received a simple printed template on which my interviewing officer had written "appear on Feb 11 at a certain time". I had no idea what it could be as she had said I had passed, so to exercise an abundance of caution, I went ahead and obtained a county police clearance (clean).
When I saw her on Feb 11 (she called me from a counter) she asked me to sign a paper with questions (and answers prepared by herself) that I had no arrests before. I did AND also gave her county police clearance.
I haven't heard anything and it's common to receive an answer from this field office typically within a week.
Any insight on what can be going on with this delay. Does my case(twice unclassifiable fingerprints) need a supervisor review?
What can I do at this stage? If I make an infopass appt., what questions should I ask them?
Thank you.

In the case of folks with unclassifiable prints OR age waived for fingerprints (79 and over), Naturalization Quality Procedures (NQP) requires the completion of a standardized Sworn Statement regarding any criminal issues or lack thereof. Your discussion and her confusion about which letters were acceptable caused her to forget that form and when she handed it over for the standard "reverification" the mistake was found and the case was given back for correction. Now that the error has been corrected, the case can move forward for Oath scheduling.
The Adjudicator's Field Manual contains an sworn statement; The public version is redacted:
AFM Appendix 72-6 Sample Sworn Statement Regarding Fingerprint Waivers.
[(b)(2) or (b)(7)(E)] This refers to the section of the Privacy Act that allows the document to be withheld from public disclosure....

BigJoe5, What does standard "reverification" involve and how long does it take to complete it?
This info will help me ask the right questions and respond appropriately for my next infopass session. Thank you again.

They work off a checklist to make sure all the details are covered. Fingerprints current? Everything signed? All required evidence? All required sworn statements and name change petition and etc..., all in order? It varies on the applicant's case. Based on 5 years or based on 3 years married to a USC or based on military service, etc?
