You will never be successful suing the US Government.  Get that foolish idea out of your head.

Untrue. Several people have been successful in mandamus actions with regards to immigration matters.

Writ of mandamus as others have said, and it's not a DIY thing and supposedly costs a bit. 

 

I know it's small potatoes but you will skip ROC thanks to this delay so one less thing to mess with immigration wise in the long run.

Yes, we were able to skip ROC after a very long pending AOS and it was definitely worth waiting 2 1/2 years to get approved to not having to pay hundreds more and filling out forms and waiting again for ROC. Glad you brought it up, I forgot to mention it.

Applicants may submit Form I-131 and request expedited processing. Additionally, applicants may request an emergency Advance Parole document at their local USCIS field office, however, this should only been done in extremely urgent situations.

When visiting a local office to request emergency advance parole, you should bring the following items:

•A completed and signed Form I-131, Application for Travel Document

•The correct I-131 filing fee

•Evidence to support the emergency request (e.g. medical documentation, death certificate)

•Two passport-style photos.

I answered you on your status where you posted, you are new here so it's understandable that you get a bit lost on this site.
Don't post on your status for answers,  post 
in the AOS family based forum.(Look in the forum sections).
Are you going to another state or Nigeria ? That was not clear from your post, you said "travel out of state".
You can make an infopass for travel emergency.
 

Thanks once again for your response, Yes i am new. I'd do as you said. Yes I meant travel out of the country to Nigeria...how do i go about the infopass

$575.  Fee is waived if only filed at the same time as the I-485

[Hypnos 6,576]

Or after.

Your I-485 is still pending so the fee is waived

Make sure you submit the NOA1 from your AOS with it  or you will get a RFE for payment.
Go to the USCIS web site and search for Infopass. You make an appointment online first with your field office to request
emergency travel. You need medical proof in your case so a doctor's letter would be needed.
Never leave the US without AP. You won't get back in without another visa as the previous posts stated.

I've read that sometimes applying for emergency AP requires you to pay the I-131 fee, regardless of it usually being waived under an I-485. You should be prepared for that eventuality.
