Never said not to fight.  Nerves of steel and keep-faithing... er, faith-keeping actually means to fight.

Sounds like the staffer at congress only sent a generic Status Update request. 
Shoot back an email to the congressional Liason along with a copy of attorney letter and natz certificate. Say the USCIS reply was non-responsive as case is not preference category, plus add statement on nature of urgency:job jeopardy /hardship .

 

Thank you. Just sent a response to congressional office asking for them to follow-up citing non-responsive reply from USCIS. I reiterated that I should not be subject to preference category visa limits and attached the complete package to upgrade the application. Keeping high hopes.

The congressional office sent a reply  on Jan 27th saying

We sent an additional inquiry and will be back in touch soon.

And today on myUSCIS account, I see that the I-485 says "case closed" but the application status still says "Actively being reviewed". When I inquired to Emma, they said no updates yet and to keep waiting and ended the chat. There are no new documents in the Document Tab, no new updates in Case History tab, and nothing in my USCIS inbox. I just happened to notice that when I checked my account today, and didn't receive any emails either.

Some examples of this same situation on google/reddit showed that the I-485 is usually followed up with a denial. Now I am worried ...

Forget about the “updates” to tell who is doing what . Good job on constant follow up with Congressional Liason. …keep up the pressure.

Also try again: 

1. Write up a Letter call it Supplemental Filing  And Request For Expedited Processing to I-485 /I-130 /I-765  and I-290 B 

Name, A#

List all case numbers as Follows ( I-485 #xyz, I-130 #..)

 

Dear Officer, 

‘Say something on imminent loss ( insert ..) of job ? USC spouse’s sanity / 😂 

 

The upload is more to get “ eyes “ on the case . ..AGAIN.

Because a request to expedite has to be looked at, approved or denied ( in about 30 days) and then you keep poking them by appealing the denial of Expedite Request.  You can request a new expedite when /if you have a new basis. I think I told of felllow who failed 7 times but nailed on the 8th.
 

 

You can also report issue to Ombudsman .

Stop looking, it means nothing. You will get approval .

USCIS is about to start cashing big time as they will implement Pay for Play 😂 / premium fee for speedy processing . ..I know you would have been an ideal target. ..even though it was a Service Error/system glitch

Keeping the hopes up. Still stuck in "Case closed". Hope its not some crazy glitch that will put my case in limbo. Noticed a couple others on reddit/lawfully reporting the same thing. The wait continues!
