Hi, I really empathize with your situation and am sorry you're going through it. After 13 months of waiting, I made a back-up plan to contact an immigration lawyer to inquire about mandamus proceedings If I hadn't heard anything by the end of the 14th month... you are well within your right to try the mandamus route and see what happens. It doesn't hurt to reach out to reach out to your senators, who can make a congressional inquiry on your behalf. You can also send a letter inquiry to USCIS (use the same mailing address you used to send your I-130).
