In that case there is nothing more you can do

There is no time frame for AP completion and no way to speed it up

 

It's really hard and frustrating, we need to discuss a lot with different people to find out solutions. If there is problem then there is must be some solution.

You're free to reach out to your attorney. You're free to reach out to a congressman. Neither can make it go any faster or give you a hard timeline.

Your lawyer will receive the same answer you got from the embassy---that it's under processing and to wait.

If it will make you feel better, then contact your lawyer........but the lawyer will not achieve anything.  Administrative Processing can not be expedited.  There is no way to estimate the time it wil

What exactly is the problem? Without that, there is no ability to identify a solution.

Presumably there is no problem based on what was stated...it's just waiting for their processing to complete.

Should i ask my lawyer to contact with the embassy? 

You should.  My lawyer is the one that informed me when she'll contact embassy. That's what you're paying them for.

as hard and frustrating as it is, that is the situation

immigration to the US is a privilege not a right, and sometimes that privilege takes a long time to receive 

 

You do not need to discuss with anyone, except your petitioner and if you have a lawyer, your lawyer (not saying you need a lawyer)

 

I do not think anyone said there is a problem, you are in AP, no one can tell you why or what the holdup is, there is nothing you can do to speed up AP

 

The solution is sabr

At least we can assume some estimate for time period of waiting 

no, you cannot and should not ASSuME anything when it comes to how long AP will take, for some people it is weeks, others months, and I know of cases that have lasted years

This happens so often out of Pakistan, members literally created a thread for it. If you go on there, you may find more information that will help, but honestly I think waiting is the answer.

Hope it helps.

 

Note: I know it says IR-1/CR-1 on the topic but it has a lot of input on people who have received administrative processing out of Islamabad.
