Post here if you already contacted your Congress Members, JCICS, Embassy, etc.
Please post here if you have already contacted any or all of your senators, representatives, JCICS, embassy officials, etc. TODAY!!! E-mails, phone calls, etc. are appreciated!

I've already e-mailed and faxed to all the ones I sent letters to back in October. Seven months have gone by and many of us are still promised uncertainty. Get moving!
