I-485 Nashville FO, I-130 Texas FO

Hi, We filed concurrent I-130 and I-485 as spouse of US citizen from inside the US last year. It's been 12 months now and the I-130 status still shows "Case was received and Receipt number sent) - When we did cognressional inquiry the answer was that the application is pending background security check! They did not disclose why, our lawyer says this is abnormal. We are thinking of what to do next? I am already in the US and travel in and out wth advance parole, I had before B1/B2 visa, I never faced any issues of travel. Q1/ What can we do next? Q2/ Does ombudsman request helps? Q3/ If we ask for my file under the FOIA will it delay my case? Q4/ If we do a mandamus lawsuit will it help? the lawyer says they will deny you because you did not gvie them enough time to finish their secuirty check. Short info about me: European citizen with middle eastern background working in hi tech field. If anyone has similar experience like this please share. Thank you

But I already have a valid AP ...

Why? Only re-entry permit and refugee travel document require you to be in the states when you apply, not the advance parole. Also I will return before expiry of the current one and wait for the new one.

Thank you - indeed I will return before expiry, is just I will send the application signed papers per post from abroad as I am traveling.

Hello I have a valid advance parole for 1 year as. I am awaiting my adjustment of status, I would like to start early enough to re-new my travel document since 6 months already elapsed: 1- Can I submit a new I-131 application 6 months in advance before expiry of my current advance parole? 2- Can I fill in and submit the new I-131 form while I am travelling outside the US with my current advance parole? Thank you
