How can I help him my grandfather get his green card?
My grandfather, who currently lives in Iran, had an appointment with the American Embassy in Turkey 2 months ago. He applied for his green card to come to American and was denied because he used to live in Israel in his twenties. He is nearly 80 years old now. They told him that once that is cleared or rather once they learn that he is not legally bound to Israel. Can I contact a congressman or speak to an immigration lawyer about this issue?

I suggest that you consult with an immigration attorney as to the best way for you to get your grandfather to the United States where yo would possibly end up sponsoring him in this country. Such would be the best way to see if he possibly could come to this country or not. I doubt that your local congress person would be much help but such an inquiry is worth a try.
