i need an interview for a fiancee and child at embassy. i am a citizen. all paperwork is there. the interview was canceled unvoluntarily and am told to wait months for another. she lives on other side of the country. i have contacted all congressmen's offices but say they can do nothing or it will take a month for an inquiry. i dont have that kind of time. they have waited 1 year for their turn and now are told they wait after others that dont even have everything at the embassy. its a simple matter of a phone call to someone in charge yet no one cares and i feel abandoned by my government. im sorry im a veteran now. please i need real answers not pithy comments.

Are you an American citizen or are you related to one?
Essentially you would need a constituent of the Congressman to contact his or her office to ask them for help with 'case work'.
The Congressman works for his or her constituents, but if you are not an American, he or she doesn't work for you.
Can the Army help?
DId you try the Senators, or just the House Reps? Senators are senior and when I interned for a Senator I used to recommend
things to be 'flagged' with the Senator's interest and a request for a follow up from agency staff in response to constituent requests. The Senator him or herself rarely gets involved but just sets office standards for what can be flagged. However, I did get the impression that the inquiries got attention, of a certain level.
Sorry I can't offer more concrete help! Good luck!

As another answerer responded, you can call his/her office or you can email them(this is secure and confidential).
The response time on email is usually about 3-5 business days...depending on the Congress person's schedule...so if it is time sensitive...I would call....and write, both.
I have a wonderful Congressman and he has been very helpful...I hope that you will be as lucky as we were.
If you do decide to do the email route, you do have a paper trail and in my experience dealing with the "system" it is good to have something down in writing.
Also, instead of asking for the Congressperson directly, inquire who is his assistant or aide, and ask to speak or communicate in some way with them. Sometimes, I have found, that they can get more done...much more expeditiously...than your actual Congressperson.
Good luck to you....hope that this helped.

Write a letter to your congressperson. Send it certified, or fedex it, so that you have a receipt for delivery.
Mention your veteran status, and ask for help.
If you don't get an answer, go to your local paper, radio station and/or tv station and see if they will air your story. Mention that you wrote your congressperson with no answer. You will get an answer and the help you need.

Threaten to scalp them if he/she doesn't, like an American Indian would do.
