Senator is from the State. Search for the ones who are pro immigration. Congressmen only represent you if you are from their district. You just have to research.

Topic: Cross-Chargeability

My case was within processing time when it was approved. They keep moving the processing times backward (only USCIS can create a negatively process flow) anyway so they don't have to answer SRs. I think processing times are bull! There is no harm approaching your senator if the case is already more than 12 months past application time.

Topic: Cross-Chargeability

I called Texas almost every week. Mostly the TSC IOs were not helpful but some were. I did not bother with CSRs as they have no clue and only tell you info thats available online. I wrote to my senator in February this year - they got a confirmation from TSC that CC will be applied. I again asked them to get in touch in August and this time TSC said that I am from India! They followed up again to clarify that I am using CC.

I had also applied for EADa and H1B . That might have triggered action on my case.

Try getting in touch with your senator. My senator's office was persistent and I believe that may have gotten my case approved.

Do a trackittt search - you'll find many threads for POJ and Cross chargeability. I'll be happy to answer specific questions.
Good luck!

Category: EB2, PD Jan 2007

Try to talk to an IO using POJ method. CSRs don't know anything.

Topic: I-485 Country of Chargeability

You can be charged to Pakistan. Send them your birth certificate and request cross-chargeability. I did that with my husband's country of birth - my GC is approved.
