No answer from GZ

[tonymasiello]

Both times I emailed GZ using the web form. The web form is required for all emails. You cannot reply directly to the address listed. I got an email receipt of the message almost instantly. I've copied my email to the bottom of the message. If you don't get an auto-reply something like this, then I'd guess your message did not get placed on their servers.

I had some problem with emails from GZ too. I wrote them on twice in July (10 business days apart) and didn't get any responses. I wrote them again two days ago stating the that I didn't get a response from them twice. I got a response back the following day.

 

I was happy to finally see a response from them, but it was another worthless reply.

 

"Please be advised that your case is currently under the process to be scheduled. Once the interview date is set, we will send out packet 4."

 

I've been getting this crap now for 4 months. GZ is so useless. Was thinking of writing my Senator within my local district. Anyone had luck with that route?
