MACE WIN: A constituent wrote a letter about how our office helped get her spousal immigration visa approved after more than a year of delays.

February 26, 2026 Latest from Our Office "My husband and I have been living abroad in England for 1.5 years while we waited for our I-130 spousal visa application to be approved so that we could return to the United States. Navigating the immigration system is stressful under the best circumstances, but when timelines shift without warning and your future feels suspended, it can quickly become overwhelming. "After about 15 months with no updates about our case, we reached out to Congresswoman Mace’s office and from that moment on everything changed. Her team listened carefully, understood the urgency of our situation, and submitted a congressional inquiry on our behalf. Their intervention helped move our case forward and provided the clarity and reassurance we desperately needed. Within weeks, our long-pending case was finally approved. It truly felt like a Christmas miracle! "Having Congresswoman Mace’s office step in didn’t just move paperwork, it also lifted a huge emotional weight and gave us hope when we needed it most. We’re incredibly grateful for their responsiveness, compassion, and willingness to advocate for families like ours. We're grateful to finally be moving forward and are beyond excited to start this next chapter of our lives in Charleston, surrounded by family." Rachael Carlin
