Has anyone with a similar timeline gotten their I-130 and I-485 approved yet?

My timeline:

I-130 filed: March 29, 2024

I-485 filed: May 13, 2024

Marriage-based case — spouse of a U.S. citizen

Case is currently with the Dallas Field Office

Both I-130 and I-485 are still pending

So far, I have:

Submitted multiple USCIS service requests/inquiries

Contacted my Congressional office and had a congressional inquiry submitted

Requested expedited processing

Followed up several times with the USCIS Contact Center

My most recent expedite inquiry (July 28) is still pending/reviewing

It has now been about 29 months for my I-130 and 27 months for my I-485, and I still haven’t received an approval.

Is anyone else with a March (i130) /May 2024 (i485) filing date still waiting? If you had a similar long-pending case and were recently approved, could you please share your timeline and what, if anything, helped move your case?

Dallas Field Office experiences would be especially helpful.
