Today, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) announced her office has successfully closed 8,000 cases for residents of Texas’ Seventh Congressional District.  Her office assists residents with matters before federal agencies, including obtaining benefits from Social Security, Veterans Affairs, and Medicare, as well as addressing matters before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and obtaining visas and renewing passports for urgent, upcoming travel. 

“I am so proud of our district team, which has worked tirelessly to help our neighbors in need,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher.  “I am grateful to the residents of Texas’ Seventh Congressional District who have put their trust in my and our team to help solve their problems and provide meaningful results.  We are here to serve our neighbors and we will continue to assist in every way we can.” 

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

“I contacted Congresswoman Fletcher's office in Nov '21 after my EAD [Employment Authorization Document] had been pending for 13 months and responses from the immigration agency (USCIS), despite repeated inquiries, had been nebulous at best. Shirley M. [with Congresswoman Fletcher’s Office] was immediate and prompt in her communication and submitted my inquiry via congressional channels to USCIS. She then contacted me on Jan 10, 2022, saying the USCIS had acknowledged my case. My case was approved on Jan 19, 2022. No other government agency or representative was as helpful as Lizzie Fletcher's office in proactively submitting and following up on my case.”

“I am a senior citizen of 68 years of age.  My wife was eligible to get Medicare Insurance effective December 1, 2021.  I applied for Medicare for my wife on the Social Security website in September 2021.  We called Social Security many times between September to December 2021 for follow up.  We did not get any response from the Social Security Office.  In the first week of December 2021, I contacted Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher for help.  Her office took up the matter with the Social Security Office.  Due to their efforts, my wife’s Medicare was approved on January 20, 2022, effective December 1, 2021.  Now my wife is able to visit the doctor.”

“I contacted Congresswoman Fletcher’s Office because I needed help with expediting my passport renewal.  To my surprise, after only three days of working with the Office of Congresswoman Fletcher, I had my passport ready for my urgent upcoming travel.  My experience was beyond excellent.”
