How can Congressman Ryan assist me when I have a problem with
USCIS? |
 |
If you have been unsuccessful in your efforts to resolve a matter with USCIS officials directly or have been unable to obtain from the USCIS the status of your pending application,
I can contact USCIS officials in your behalf to obtain the status of a pending application(s) or to obtain information that you
need.
Before I can contact the USCIS regarding your situation, the following
information will need to be provided to my office:
-
Your full name (all sir names if there are multiple)
-
The date and place (USCIS office location) where you filed your application
-
The number &/or title of the application you filed
-
A copy of your USCIS receipt or any USCIS correspondence that may be helpful
-
Your Alien Registration number (A#) or your USCIS receipt number (for this area of the county, most of the numbers start with
WAC)
-
Your current address and any previous addresses which may have been used on previous USCIS applications that you have submitted
-
Your date of birth and country of birth (if not the U.S.)
-
A signed Privacy Act Release
form, as required by the Privacy Act of 1974
Please understand that neither I
nor my staff can dispense legal advice on how to handle a USCIS case. You may want to contact an
attorney that specializes in immigration related issues or immigration
law if you need more specific assistance or legal advice of any kind.
