@James Smith What is your field office? All AOS are done at field offices. That will tell you more about your wait. Calling USCIS will do nothing.

the long wait is because you have the travel document, they are thinking you can travel so lets pay attention to the others who don't have an i131.

@James Smith I just looked up your field office and your inquiry 🧐 time has far passed. You mentioned making inquiries and I am not surprised you are still waiting. Many factors can increase your wait time but you may also just have a bad officer. The 131 approval has no impact on your 130 and 485 approvals. They are decided on in different offices by different officers. You can sue USCIS for an answer. They are legally required to give you an answer within 30 days. You can work and travel which is good. What country are you from and do you have any immigration issues in the past?
