Below are some testimonials from constituents Congresswoman Fletcher and her team have helped:

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

"I contacted the office of Lizzie Fletcher two weeks ago to address an issue I had with getting my citizenship process moving as I was out of answers from contacting them myself. Within a week, I received an email from USCIS with an interview for my citizenship. I am so glad that we have people looking out for the public and taxpayers. Thank you very much to the office of Lizzie Fletcher for resolving my inquiry."

United States Department of State

"My brother and his family applied for a tourist visa in June 2023, but their application was quickly placed in administrative processing. Despite providing additional evidence for their eligibility, the case remained stalled. For two years, we reached out every six months, but the status was in an endless limbo with no clear way to track its progress.

"I wrote to Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher's office to explain our situation. As an American Venezuelan family, we had not been able to gather since 2017, and we were in desperate need of support to move the visa forward. I also had the opportunity to meet with her constituent advocates in Alief, and they were incredibly open and receptive, especially Sofia, who offered to investigate my case.

"After two years had passed, I was already discussing the need to re-apply when an email arrived from [Constituent Advocate] Sofia, notifying me that the visas would finally be issued by the Rio de Janeiro U.S. Consulate! Their swift intervention helped to get the process back on track. This [meant] that our three siblings and our entire family-separated for seven long years-[could] be reunited for Christmas. I was super excited to hear the great news!

"What I most appreciate is the openness and efficiency of Congresswoman Fletcher's office. I felt instantly heard, and they acted upon my request right away. It was my first time asking for this kind of support, and I never imagined the help could be provided so quickly. Thank you to Congresswoman Fletcher and her entire team for their hard work. You have made this Christmas an unforgettable one for our family. We will be forever grateful."

Social Security Administration

"I contacted Congresswoman Fletcher's office because I was having difficulty with my Social Security Disability. After several phone calls to SSA, I decided to contact Representative Fletcher for assistance. Her office responded to me extremely quickly and was so kind in assisting me. They took their time to understand the problem and helped me resolve the issue. Within a week of talking with Representative Fletcher's office, the problem with my disability was resolved. What I had been dealing with for months, her office resolved in a week. I can't thank Congresswoman Fletcher and the amazing staff that she has enough. Without them, I would very likely still be trying to resolve the issue on my own. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!"
