i-485 at TSC, still pending after processing date

Hi all! First of all, great forum - a lot of useful info (and a realization that a lof of people share the same experiences) :)

I have my i-485 (EB-1, I-140 approved, priority date is current) still pending at TSC, even after the processing date for it became current (filed in April 2005, they now (Jan'06) review July'05 applications).
I called (800)# back in Nov'05, asking that the date has passed and what is happening to the case, and then in 30 days received a generic notice that this case is in review and they will get back to me (something like that).
Our FP were taken back in Aug'05, and since then no online updates were ever posted.

The question I have is this: is there a way to ask for a case status (or rather speed-up a process a bit??? As EB-1 employment-based case with approved i-140 (I filed for myself), this was supposed to be a 1st-priority case, and TSC is taking its sweet time with it, unfortunately... As we haven't seen our families for 8+ years, so it's getting frustrating now :(

If I were to mail TSC a letter request saying that I have a 1st-priority EB-1 case, still pending after its processing date, and I'd like to know the status of it and the approximate timeline for its approval - any chances I'd get a sane response back? Is there a better way to go about this?
Any advice would be highly appreciated!
 
You never no how long it would be.


Same here, EB-1 filed concurrently in OCt-2003 got I-140 approved in June 05(after 20 months)
Still waiting for I-1485 approval
Nothing is on priority.
 
Thanks, avnapa!

On the same note, I talked with a lawyer who helps with LC for my university, and he basically told me the very same thing - that these processing dates are just "guidelines", that it generally takes about 1.5 to 2 years, and he personally has 5 cases still pending that were filed earlier than mine in NSC and CSC :(
