Tried that. Yes. The senator's office did say they have a dedicated person who deals with this. It still took them 3 business days to get back and then they said we can give them a CC or call the agency, talk to someone and pay the expedited charge
Problem is even then, they do NOT guarantee anything for up to 20 more day after you expedited. It may come early, it may take 20 days.
We're still waiting.
