My interview was back in October 2005. I have not heard anything since that day. Has anyone waited so long and got a positive result? I am tired of waiting. Don't know what to think.

Have you tried to write your officer? This is what I plan to do since I was told to do it when I went 3rd time to INS to check my status.

I also wonder if I choose "Talk to immigration officer" while making an infopass appointment, who would I talk to? MY officer who I had my interview with? Does anybody know?

You will most likely not get to talk to the adjudicator... Depending on your DO, you will walk up to a window and talk to an immigration information officer. They are on the low end of the chain but can provide some useful information.
I would start saving money for an immigration lawyer... If they don't act on your application, you can and should file a Writ of Mandamus to force them to act. It has been used very successfully in naturalization cases and is now being used more in AOS applications that just get "stuck" The lawyer will start to exhaust all administrative remedies before they file for you.

Lawyers are a waste of money knowing that other normal people have managed to educate themselves, file their cases, and get their cases approved on their own.

Naturalization cases have a better option that Writ of Mandamus...unfortunately that's not available for I-485 cases.
Anyway, with a good preparation, the OP can file Pro Se without spending money on attorneys.
Writ of mandamus can be filed though (with chances to be successful) only after the Plaintiff exhausted all the administrative remedies...in other words, the only fact that it is an unusual long period of time since the interview or since a resolution was due, is not enough for a Writ of Mandamus complaint to be successful.
This thread can give the OP a good idea how to prepare for litigation and what to do if s/he wants to do it Pro Se.
