总结经验：
(1) 苦苦等指纹信的朋友们可以试试申请加急，不管加急最后有没有被approve，至少指纹能快点约上。我等了3个半月还没有收到指纹信，Emma申请加急后ASC当天就寄出了指纹信（一周后收到信，上面显示的寄出时间是一周前）。刚申请加急时不需要马上提交supporting documents，所以花几分钟时间就能把指纹约上。
(2) 没有指纹时的加急申请可能会被默默拒掉，打完指纹后需要重新申请加急，但是个人加急注意两次加急要间隔30天以上，等不了30天可以找议员加急。我打完指纹傻傻等着渔民局找我要加急的supporting evidence，问了两个Emma客服让我等着，第三次问客服说，因为之前已经邮件回复我，所以“your expedited inquiry is no longer pending”, 我才意识渔民局之前的回复”your request is on hold or in suspense"实际意思是closed了，mmp……
(3) 找议员加急比自己加急要快很多，有点议员网站上有专门给immigration用的表格，填好后签字。材料要准备充分，非英文的材料需要找certified translation，不需要notarized。 我加急原因是国内家人病重，提供了户口簿证明家人关系，医疗报告和照片 证明病重。
(4) 找议员加急时要明确说哪些case需要加急。我一开始以为485，765，131这些都是一起的，找议员时加急申请表上就只填了485，结果765就没有被加急。问了下Emma客服，说最好每个case都单独加急。
(5) Emma live chat怎么和真人说话？打live chat，原因写expedite。遇到自动回复，多打几次live chat或speak with a representative。

什么叫contacted a senator and a representative 呀？
