I am sorry about your experience. Did you talk to your lawyer? Who was the officer. You have been there so many times that by now you recognize them by face. Only a couple of them are helpful. You should talk to your lawyer about WOM.
Can you tell me what did the officer say at the end of your interview? I mean how long did he say it will take for the supervisor to review your case? I was looking through your previous posts but I could not find the details of your interview.
No rush post it here when you have some free time, or direct me to the thread where you have posted the details.

Initial Review
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.
If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131, I-130 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or biometrics taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule.

Why did they call you for a second interview? Can you share the questions the officer asked you at the interview?
Was it a male or female officer? Was it the same officer who interviewed you the first time.
You should make an infopass right away. Don't wait for the phone call. My feeling is that the moment we leave they forget about our files.

my husband took an info pass appointment on 2nd feb . they told him that someone is working on your case .he waited for quite sometime and then lady came to him (she was not the same officer who took our interview in 2007) and said that we need small interview you can come now or later.my husband said he is ready for interview. she took him in the small room downstairs administer oath and starts checking files and asked regular questions like having same employer, address confirmation, small things etc afterwards she said that she has everything only thing she needs is recent paystubs and 2007 and 2008 tax return she said come back 7 30 tomorrow moring
same afternoon he received call from her and she said that instead of 7 30 come at 10 and bring your family as well next day we all went there along with our attorney she called three of us(me my husband and lawyer first) and again started checking files in between she asked for marriage certifcate my daughters birth certificate etc etc she also collected paystubs and and tax returns. then she said that i think everything is ok i just need your daughters fingerprints
after sometime she left the room and said that let me make photo copies when she came back she again started checking files and this time she said i need to discuss more regarding the period when you were in canada.
we already have every proof that we left canada in 1996 after staying 3 days my childs birth certiface our citizen crds passports u have everything. she was very friendly she yes i have everything but there should be something more that shows that u were actually living there and she said that i am asking because if at the time of applying citizenship they could not find these documents it will be a nightmare
she said that my computer here is not working i will go to other computer put this in computer for approval and then today or tomorrow i will call u for passport stamping and when u guys come bring along whatever u have with u regarding canadian stay. we were really happy she didnt call and today we received the emails
then we called lawyer he said he dont trust their online status and asked us to make infopass for monday and he will go with us.so we mads an appointment again..........really have no idea whats going on.

Congratulations on your partial good news. Hopefully you will get your approval soon.
I went for an infopass today, waited for five plus hours and in the end got the standard reply. The file is with the officer, no decision has been made. If you wish file an inquiry fill out this form.
Did you ever see any movement after filling out the inquiry form?
I am tired of waiting.

u should fill that form and initiate SR. same thing happened with us and after 5th or 6th infopass appointment(we made appointments almost every other day)they finally opened our case and decided.we also got help from congressman(i dont know it worked or not).i hope u will get ur your positive desion soon.inshallah.
How often can one make info pass appointment? Is there a limit to how many appointments one can make? Did your online status change or the date after you opened SR??
Also can you share the format of your congressman's letter??
I will keep bugging them until I get my decision inshallah.
thanks.

i dont think there is any limit on infopass appointments(although they say to wait for 45 days but they never care).go as often as can,and try to see supervisor. ask them that u want see some supervisor upstairs .our online status didnt change after any SR. when we called congressmans office they faxes us application and we filled our information and send them back.
