Note
I did not contact congressman/ ombudsman. I raised one SR just to find out how it works. I knew it would not affect my application or yield the results I wanted. I did it anyways. Interview was very simple, relaxed and no strange questions were asked. My wife and I had to beg the IO to take the prepared documents we brought on that day. The folder contained a lot of evidence( e.g. joint lease, phone bills, affidavits of bona fide marriage, travel itineraries, etc. ) The IO said he did not need to see our photo album but viewed it because we asked him to see it. He said there was no need to submit the documents we brought because I submitted a lot of evidence when I sent my form I-485. Approved two hours after the interview. I was not given a paper after the interview.
I hope this helps someone. Prayer and volunteering my time in my community helped a lot. Do not hesitate to ask any question.
