My Chinese colleague told me that almost all chinese H1B applicants need to go through admin processing. It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to be processed in China. Who knows if it is Mantis or something else though.

This sounds like a Mantis Security Advisory Opinion, which typically gets cleared way faster than DS-5535 related vetting.

I don't know what version of the DS-5535 you got, but the social media question they ask is: "Please provide your unique user name for any websites or applications you have used to create or share content (photos, videos, status updates, etc.) as part of a public profile within the last five (5) years." So, I personally wouldn't worry about some old/private/deactivated accounts. FWIW, some immigration attorneys even question whether there is any serious vetting and investigation that they do following the DS-5535 submission, they wouldn't give clearances just to avoid dealing with lawsuits if that was the case. Just an opinion. This process is a blackhole and I am just guessing here.

I am the beneficiary, currently in the US under an H1B status, so I am eligible to file an AOS application. H1B and L1 visas are dual intent, i.e. they allow immigration intent, unlike a visitor's visa or a student visa

I was given the same advise by an immigration lawyer Will your IV application be considered abandoned/withdrawn? I heard conflicting opinions about that. Also, there is a section in the I-485 that asks about previous IV refusals and denials, what did you say there?
-
I just got a response from a different immigration attorney and was told that by filing for AOS, my immigrant visa will be considered withdrawn. It is confusing when two lawyers give contradicting information.
-
Has anyone considered filing for adjustment of status I-485 while their IV is stuck is AP/DS-5535? I was told by a lawyer that will not lead to withdrawing your immigrant visa application

I hope your case will start moving before the deadline. Would you mind sharing the name of the lawyer you worked with? I contacted a few and I want to go with Curtis Morrison for now, he charges an additional $1000 to fight the motion to dismiss.

I hope your WOM retainer agreement with your lawyer includes fighting the motion to dismiss if it happens, there has been several court orders denying motions to dismiss, including one in Pennsylvania https://redeaglelaw.com/blog-1/f/tsunami-of-judges-deny-state-department’s-motions-to-dismiss
