Why would a Congressman go to bat for a foreigner who can't get entry into the US?

I mean, I guess their office could push the gov't for an actual decision, but I can't see them fighting for approval.

I wasn't suggesting that a Congressman directly go to bat, though that would be awesome. Any US citizen can contact their Congressional Representatives' Office to request that some bureaucratic problem be resolved, and the Congressional office directly contacts the relevant organization within the executive branch. I live near Washington DC, and it's just part of the process.
