How can an EB-5 applicant reach NVC aside from the inquiry option?

I am an EB-5 (I-5 type) visa applicant. I paid the fee in full, completed DS-260 and submitted civil documents to NVC five months ago. So far, I have not received a "documentarily qualified" confirmation e-mail from NVC. I have sent them two inquiries but only received automatic responses. Is there any other way to know about my current case status? How can I follow up?

  To check your case status, access your NVC account on their website by using your NVC Case and Invoice numbers.

  That is the only way - with next inquiry put attention PI supervisor.

  Sadly email or maybe a letter are the only way - they are terribly slow and terribly backlogged.

  Not really. It is a very clunky system. They will respond though after a while.

  You can contact a senator or congressman to follow up.
