F2A OPT婚绿 婚姻绿卡 时间线持续更新中 （内含保姆级别清单，找议员教程）

H1-B第一波没抽中希望能抽中第二波。发个帖子攒攒人品也希望能帮到有需要的人！全程DIY。疫情困在家中也算省了点钱吧。
我的身份是F1 OPT，没有stem。NBC深坑。美国中部

联系USCIS：
一般有两种方法：Emma和打电话
1. Emm有时候系统会崩，不是很推荐。一般的回复都很general，还很慢。想和真人说话就打字：infopass
2.打电话致 800-375-5283。USCIS的电话很难打。反正选择完语言后我一般直接说infopass就会接通到真人了。Tier 2一般也能预约上，但是我从来没收到过call back。

联系议员：
我的EAD和AP卡等了快8个月了，打了好几个USCIS的电话也没用，Tier 2从来没打回来过我的电话。
1. 大家可以上https://www.commoncause.org/find ... change-your-address 来查找自己的议员。
2. 找到自己的议员后可以去他们的官网看有没有immigration有关的网站。一般这上边就可以填写自己的要求。
我当时就写了封信，大概说了下自己有严重的financial loss，如果EAD卡在不下来就无法工作了。我还算幸运吧，议员的办公室有专门的人负责移民局的案子，回复都在1-2小时内。如果这个议员不理你可以试试其他人。

其他的：
1. case tracker：输入自己的case number后可以随时追踪最新动态。我最喜欢的功能就是“search”。可以查询到你的case前500或后500号码的动态。
2. Redditt， visajourney， trackitt都是一些不错的分享自己经验的地方。

求加急工卡的cover letter😭😭我也等了五个多月了在找议员 谢谢！
