I-130 Approved I485 Pending .. need help

[ZT2017 8]

Guys,

would appreciate your help, parents got called in for interview on Jan 10 2023 for i485 interview.. interview seemed to go well.. IO stated that everything looks good, came back home.. next day i130 was approved. 2 days later rfe was sent to father that his fingerprints are not good enough and to get police reports from where has been residing for last 5 yrs. I submitted that on Jan 19 2023 and there still is no update. 
 My mother had no rfe but there is no update on i485 and her i130 was approved also on Jan 10 2023. I have been waiting a long time, and parents need to travel back home. I didn’t hire lawyer but I’m thinking of hiring.. could anyone advice on how to get info on case or should I get a lawyer. Also is this regular timeframe. A lot of people who had applied after me have been approved. Getting very frustrated with this situation. 
 

i130 and 1485 concurrent filing jan 14 2022. 
i130 approved Jan 10 2023

i485 pending 

i131 still pending also

Normal. 

Nothing a lawyer can do.

If they needed to travel home, maybe adjusting status vs petitioning them properly wasn’t the smartest move.
