Same boat here.
My NOA date is October 19th. Have not received NOA2. Have inquired and the last I heard was that the petition went to an officer on May 6th.

As of today, I am at day 227 - going on 8 months.....

Have you guys contacted the USCIS?

I have contacted the USCIS many times and was lied to 5 out of the 6 times that I spoke with an officer. Four times they said it was with an officer - that was as far back as February 22nd.
After my Congressman called and was told it went to an officer on May 6th, I called back a day later to USCIS to ask status of the case. The officer who answered the call told me it was with an officer. When I pressed her for the date it went to an officer, she told me March 11th. (lie) She probably never looked up the file, no touch due to call as well.
Seems pretty funny that one officer had told the Congressional Rep that it went to an officer on May 6th.

I called back last Thursday and was told by an officer that it was in fact with an officer and went to an officer on May 6th. (first one to be honest with me). She then said she would send an email to the officer. The file was touched that day (due to the call) and touched the next day due to what I believe is the officer receving the email and picking up the file.

Based on my experience, I would not put a lot of faith in what the folks at USCIS tell you.

Another tool to help in getting your case adjudicated, is the CIS Ombudsman.
http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm

From their website:

When Should I Submit a Case Problem to CIS Ombudsman?
You should contact the CIS Ombudsman if you have an ongoing or immediate issue with USCIS, such as:
* Your case experienced processing delays beyond anticipated processing times;
* Have not received a response or resolution within the anticipated time frames as published by USCIS.

How to Submit a Case Problem to CIS Ombudsman
Submit a case problem using DHS Form 7001 (Please note: This is a pilot project to help determine feasibility of submitting cases online in the future.)
* Complete and print out the fillable PDF version of DHS Form 7001.

What Assistance Does the Ombudsman Provide in Resolving Case Problems?
Once we receive your case problem, we will review your case, determine if we are able to assist you, and if appropriate, forward your case to USCIS for resolution. If for some reason we are not able to help you obtain a resolution to your case problem, we will inform you of the reasons in writing. If another government office or agency is better able to assist you with your case problem, we will make every effort to provide you with the contact information of that office or agency.

It will probably take another 4 months for CIS Ombudsman to process DHS Form 7001, and 15 years to actually do anything about it!
