However, USCIS claims to review and deal with these things in the order they are received. So how is it not a clear error on their end, when they process cases from later years and ours sit there, despite never having gotten a request for additional information, etc.

Unfortunately, that is normal procedure for USCIS.  It is a fact that USCIS has practiced last in, first out for some I-751 cases while others sit for years. We filed our I-751 in March 2019.  It became "Ready for an interview to be scheduled" in May of 2019.  We had no RFEs.  Nothing happened until wife filed for citizenship in August of 2022.....40 months after filing the I-751.  Both the I-751 and N-400 were approved after a combo interview in December 2022.  Sadly, some cases get left behind.  A WOM might help in your case.

@LynetteMN Our immigration liaison with the Senator's office mentioned the option of filing for an expedite request, but thinks we don't have enough to prove the need for it.

Since you spoke to lawyers, did you discuss any of this with them? Would be curious to hear what they think.

@ChrisMcFisch So we only went to one immigration lawyer so far, and all he said was to wait to hear back and there was nothing much he could do unless we want to sue USCIS, which will also take time because they have so many legal actions against them as well.
Our senator liaison just told us that our case is indeed in the local field office, and they are handling most of their backlogs so I will have to wait. He also suggested applying for citizenship.
