I don't know the solution, but I know somebody who has similar case: and would like to share the experience (with the applicant's consent):
Mrs. X applied for Asylum in 2005 and was interviewed, her case was pending....she moved to different area in 2008,-- she changed her address and went to the designated field office, in person and informed about her case. Her interview was scheduled, after re-interview she was granted asylum.....
Does that help ?

Try to get hold of a senator. It won't cost you a penny.

The first one should be valid for 2 years.
Did you get the recommend approval? You said you got your EAD when they gave you the mail-out notice. Well, if you don't even have recommended approval, then how did you get your EAD? You have to wait at least 150 days to get EAD. Are you saying that they gave you the mail-out notice after 150 days from filing your application?
Why don't you write a letter directly to President Obama? (forget about senator). This is America, a leader of human rights and you seek its protection. You have the right as a human being to get a response within a reasonable time frame (approval or rejection). Those who are holding your case at USCIS are just employees of the goverment and if they don't do their job properly, then their big boss should know about it.
If you don't feel comfortable writing a letter, let one of your American citizen relatives or friends to write a letter to president Obama on your behalf. His staff will respond to the letter in about 2 weeks and will make a corrective action if necessary. Don't forget that one of his agenda is to speed up the process of pending applications in USCIS. Try it and it won't cost you anything. You have nothing to be afraid of if your case is legitimate and real.
God bless you.

He is a great president and I am sure that his staff will respond to you and I am also sure that he won't like that you have been waiting for almost 3 years to get the asylum decision. Waiting for 3 years to get an asylum decision is unaccpetable. I am sure that the new secretary of homeland security department doesn't know about those long long long long time asylum pending cases. She will make a corrective action but somebody has to bring that subject to her and the best way to do this is to write a letter to president Obama.
Once again, you have nothing to be afraid of if your case is legitimate and real.
I also recommend that you let any human right advocates organization or a church or any kind of big organization to support your letter or speak on behalf of you when you send the letter to the president.
Once again, waiting for 3 years without an answer is wrong. You came here to seek a protection not to live in a limbo and worries for years and years. You have to let the president and the secretary of homeland security know about your situation. President Obama likes to help people who need help and you are one of those people who fled their countries to seek protection but not to live in a limbo for years and years without even knowing whether you are approved or rejected. This is wrong and the big boss has to know about it.
I don't think that your senator will help. Your senator might send an inquiry to USCIS but that inquiry won't do any good.
President Obama's staff will be able to help you and trust me on that.

Really? I think Obama's staff are already overwhelmed in correcting the economy, alliances with other countries, Iraqi war "doing what Bush should have done while he was playing golf"... etc... not a USCIS delay.
Imagine that I had a legal case in the court, I wouldn't go to Obama asking him for the judge decision, there are certain procedures.
I think we leave everyone to do his job, the President is considered the country's chief executive. He develops federal policies, prepares national budgets, enforces federal laws, and appoints federal officials.
Hammu, I suggest you keep making appointments via infopass every month, ask the help of senator but no one will take care of your case more than yourself.
I read in your first post that it has been pending 3 years, but you visited the asylum office in January 2009... I really hope that this is not your first visit asking them about your case.
His staff reply to all legitmate letters and concerns even if they are busy. They never ignore any concern coming from citizens. They usually delegates assignments/issues to appropriate people.
If I were you, I would also keep following up with USCIS every month. What did your attorney suggest?
