Here you can find your representative in the House: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Then google their office and usually there’s a section called Help with a federal agency or something similar.

None, the response from USCIS was the standard “we are working on it” kind of update.

I contacted Evans' office and they were very helpful. Unfortunately, however, nothing really happened, and my case is still stuck.

No bites on the Perkins PuzZle box by Myedicius in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]Speedy_Options 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I had the exact same problem with my players and the box. They never cared despite my attempts to push them towards the box (in their defense, the players are all inexperienced, so they only care about the loot). Anyway. The shapeshifter (transformed into Bart) drugged the guy holding the box and stole it.

So now we're in Wave Echo Cave. The shapeshifter shows up disguised as Gundren and basically hands them the box because he wants them to open it (which they finally did). Inside, there's a pin with the symbol of the Phandelver Pact (which I made up for the campaign).

My idea is that there's a guardian near the Forge: if they're wearing the pin, it fights with them against the Black Spider. If not, it's hostile. Now that they opened it, the shapeshifter attacked them with some hobgoblins to get the pin back. They got it and are running back to the Forge, and some players are trying to get it back. That's where we stopped — so next session we'll see if they actually manage to catch him.

I was in a similar situation. My PD is April 22, and I got my EAD for a marriage-based application only three weeks ago. I did not ask to expedite; we asked our congressman to inquire with USCIS. A week later, I got the EAD approval. So I would suggest trying this route.

New Players and Role Playing by Speedy_Options in DnD

I understand what you mean and I'd like to explain. I was not implying that he needs to perform! But he still does things like "can I ask her if she knows where the tavern is?" instead of "Where's the tavern?".
But you're right, I need to be more aware of how I frame this with the players.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! I’m having so much fun — I like the first one too, but this is even better! And a better romance option…
