It's been roughly taking longer than 12 months right now.

California is usually quicker. Have you called to check?

You can check processing times here https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do . Are you a US citizen? Or are you a resident? As of September 30th, the California Service Center was processing applications for the spouses of US permanent residents that were submitted on August 23rd, so it's taking about 12 months in those cases. Not sure how long it's taking them for spouses of US citizens but should be a few months less than that, maybe around 8.

I just found this link for California, there is a phone number you can call and see. It can be a starting point.

SImce you are an LPR and not a USC, your wife must wait for a visa number to become available. At the moment, visa numbers are only available for people who filed at the end of 2015 so it'll be a few months yet before yours can proceed. So there is no rush for USCIS to approve the I-130. Even if they approved it tomorrow, the NVC can't do anything with it until the PD is current. So whether you wait at California or NVC, it makes no difference. You still have to wait.

 

If you obtained your LPR status through marriage then you have to be an LPR for 5 years before you can proceed. That may or may not apply to you.

Hello what are the requirements upon filing the CR-1 and CR-1a? 

Has anyone tried the K3immigrant visa application?

So according to that link I posted, I-130s for the spouses of legal permanent residents are taking about 13 months at the California Service Center. Going by that yours should hopefully be processed by February or early March.
