Let's compliment silly man's suggestion and contact Rep.
Jim Sensenbrenner, congressman overseeing the INS. His email is sensen09@mail.house.gov.
Silly man, hope you don't mind, altered your well put original to fit the need.
I'm sure you are aware of the information going around both formally from elected officials, INS officials and and informally about the "freeze" on 485 processing. In spite of contradictary communications coming from INS, this appears to be the situation.
I am one such person that has now been waiting for <insert time you have been waiting> for my approval. While I understand the heightened security concerns this nation has, I find it unacceptable the lack of communication from the government department responsible for these approvals, namely the INS.
As your position has much influence and direct contact with decision makers of the INS, and while I'm sure you are already doing this, I am asking you to make a formal request for a statement from INS. Specifically this request should 1) have INS acknowledge there is a freeze, 2) for the exact reasons of the freeze, 3) any changes or new procedures to be implemented and what exactly are they and what influence they will have on approval timeframes, 4) the date when approvals will be resumed and 5) what INS will do to clear the backlog of some 2-3 months of inactivity.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated by the thousands of
hardworking I485 applicants and their families; who do not have a unified voice/lobby with this organization that is impervious to the constituency they purportedly serve.
Respectfully,
