Pls help with local transfer issue

[egragjevi]

My I-485 was transfered to Chicago asylum office for processing since sept 06. I am the primary applicant. Applied for GC Aug 2003. Had 2 set of fingerprints done and 2 medical examinations done. After that my I485 was transferred. I have called and written to this office mutiple times to check why is taking so long, but I have not gotten my questions answered. Consulted a lawyer and was told I needed to wait. But how long do I need to wait? Chicago is processing I-485 within 6 months. Seems to me this case is "frozen". Contacted local senator office. Started working on it....whatever that means.
Has anyone gone through this and what suggestions do you have for me?
What is the procedure for processing I485 in local field offices?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Make an InfoPass appointment and go ask a local officer face to face. They never reply your mails. Infopass is the only way to go.

As far as the procedure goes, the 485 processing date that you saw on their website normally applies to only locally filed cases, not transferred cases. They don't publish a separate date for transferred cases (at least this is true several months ago). When it's time to process your case, they'll send you an interview notice to schedule an on-site interview with you and then decide whether or not they should approve your case.
