You asked about the estimated timeframe, here is my answer:
This is BCIS's estimate based on 10,000 per year:
"By law, only 10,000 asylees can adjust status to Lawful Permanent Resident per year; however, the Service is receiving between 25,405– 43,881 applications per year. As a result, as of January 10, 2005, approximately 186,170 asylee adjustment applications were pending. We anticipate that we will process pending applications according to the following schedule:

May. 31, 2000 - Apr. 12, 2001 Oct. 1, 2005 - Sep. 30, 2006
Apr. 13, 2001 - Mar. 7, 2002 Oct. 1, 2006 - Sep. 30, 2007
Mar. 8, 2002 - Jun. 20, 2002 Oct. 1, 2007 - Sep. 30, 2008
Jun. 21, 2002 - Sep. 30, 2002 Oct. 1, 2008 - Sep. 30, 2009
Oct. 1, 2002 - Feb. 6, 2003 Oct. 1, 2009 - Sep. 30, 2010
Feb. 7, 2003 - May. 23, 2003 Oct. 1, 2010 - Sep. 30, 2011
May. 24, 2003 - Sep. 26, 2003 Oct. 1, 2011 - Sep. 30, 2012
Sep. 27, 2003 - Feb. 25, 2004 Oct. 1, 2012 - Sep. 30, 2013
Feb. 26, 2004 - Jun. 21, 2004 Oct. 1, 2013 - Sep. 30, 2014
Jun. 22, 2004 - Nov. 8, 2004 Oct. I, 2014 - Sep. 30, 2015
Nov. 9, 2004 - Jan. 10, 2005 Oct. 1, 2015 - Sep. 30, 2016 "
Now, they have to do additional 30,000 in three years. Let's assume 10,000 per year. It will move one year up for this fiscal, two year up for next and three lyear for 07. So,
Oct. 1, 2004 - Sep. 30, 2005: Feb 18, 1996 to Apr 12, 2001
Oct. 1, 2005 - Sep. 30, 2006: Apr 13, 2001 to Jun 20, 2002
Oct. 1, 2006 - Sep. 30, 2007: Jun 21, 2002 to Feb 10, 2003
Later, I really don't know. The new law removes the cap but doesn't protect you by stating how many they have to adjust. Have your attorney keeping the pressure in every occasion should work in some way.
Hope this is helpful.
