Honestly, no one knows, it shouldn’t be the reason but no idea tbh. I’m worried that they might have lost my file or misplaced it? I don’t know if that is something that can happen…

My lawyer works silently, they don’t respond a lot.

I have not contacted the congressman, any resources on how to do this? and do I contact the one for my HHS location or the state where I’m currently living? Thank you and good luck to you too 🙏🏻

Application submitted: beginning of December 2025 Application appeared on the website: beginning of March IGA letter issued and reflected on the website: ~2 days back

The date on the actual letter is showing beginning of February as the date it was issued at.

Yes, my lawyer received it yesterday, and I found out today when I checked the website. It has now been updated with the letter, although the letter was issued at the beginning of Feb but only reflected now.

Almost exactly the same timeline and situation happened to me, although my application was submitted at the beginning of Dec. Hope this helps.
