There is an email address for the executive assistant on the bop's Ft Worth web page.

You can send them a message, or write a letter directly to the warden.

Page 4 of the visiting handbook says that the inmate's assigned correctional counselor will be responsible for evaluating the proposed visitor's list submitted by the inmate.

Page 5 of the Visiting handbook says: The corrections counselor will notify the inmate of those visitors who have been approved or disapproved within one week after the inmate submits his visiting list.

Thank you for your help! I sent email to the email address with no response also i called inmate counselor x2 who stated that he has not heard anything from warden

Im sorry maybe i didnt clarify the warden has to approve visitors there according to counselor maybe because its an rdap facility anyway i was originally told it would be 2 to 3 weeks by the counselor. according to my husband they made him sign a paper stating he had no visitors list til this one is approved. anyway its been like 8 wks and i cant get any answers from counselor other than its prob because the warden got backed up with lots of lists to review plus the holidays but ive never had this issue but ive never dealt with the feds except for big spring fci had no issues there

Great news that you are approved to visit. The bop definitely operates on their own time schedule.
