Thanks for the advice, this is the update.

Update: Received email from Ombudsman on 10/02/2017 saying the USCIS had made a decision on my case and because of that reason they will close the case as "Resolved." I called them right after receiving the email, and they told me to wait maximum 30 days for USCIS to contact me if they don't contact then Ombudsman's office will reopen the case and push USCIS again. :unsure:

 

Later I called USCIS and spoke with a Tier-2 officer, and he notified me that the case has been in-line for oath since September 22nd, 2017. They will send me a letter as soon as they have an oath ceremony date. <_<

 

The Ombudsman's office called USCIS on September 20th, 2017 and Senators office called them on September 22, 2017. So can't tell which one helped. I can not be excited until I am done with oath ceremony, after all these years of experience with USCIS, I am sure of one thing that anything can happen with USCIS. ;)
