Constituent Stories
The issues with our 2014 taxes are now fixed, and we finally have a social security number for our baby, Adam. Amy and I thought that we would never get here! None of this would have been possible without the help from your office, and we can never thank you enough.
Stephen W. and Amy S., from Silver Spring
On behalf of my wife, daughter and myself, I want to thank the Congressman for his assistance. Your office was dilligent and aggresive in resolving our immigration case. My daughter's green card arrived and we are deeply grateful.
Christopher C., from Silver Spring
I wanted to let you know that the VA aid and assistance benefit came through. Thanks very much for your help. I'm sure it was expedited due to your efforts. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after he started receiving the benefit, but that made your help in expediting it all that much more important, and we appreciate it.
Claire S., Silver Spring
After you received our information you were kind enough to let our grandson know that the expedited renewal we filled out and mailed from the Westminster post office seemed to be on track. We were then kept informed right through to its arrival at our door in Westminster early afternoon on Thursday, two days before he was due to fly home to France. You were very helpful to us in a very stressful situation.
Jill K., Westminster
Thank you so much! I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever receive this Certificate. I have waited so long for it and I could never get a straight answer from the call center. I am so happy and thankful that I reached out to your office! Thank you again for working to get my problem resolved so quickly.
Diane Q., Chevy Chase
Your staff was very helpful and was able to get the information I needed from USCIS in a very timely manner, which finally allowed the State of Maryland to issue the certificate that I received today. I wanted to write and let you know what responsive and professional staff you have and what a great job you are doing for our district.
Sue H., Bethesda
Thank you so very much. I heard from the utility assistance program today and suddenly my application has been approved. Clearly, your intervention worked. The assistance will wipe out the arrears. I cannot express my gratitude.
Grace V., Silver Spring
We cannot thank you enough for all of your help in making it possible for Marie to secure a re-entry permit and to see her very ill mother after 14 years. Words cannot express Marie's joy or our appreciation. We are fortunate to have had your wonderful intervention to make it possible for her to see her mother in advance of securing her green card.
Elliott P., Bethesda
I just want to let you know that my husband got his green card last Saturday. My husband and I would like to express our appreciation to Congressman Van Hollen and his staff. It's been a long journey for us. The journey would have been even longer if we didn't get help from you. We really appreciate your help."
Xuanwen W., Silver Spring
I have good news to share. The consulate picked up my request and, in a matter of a few hours, issued me the visa to allow me to travel back to the United States. I can't thank you enough for making this such a smooth process. I was looking at a hard wait for three more weeks and cannot believe my luck that everything was approved and stamped within three days to enable me to be with my family. I really appreciate your timely help.
