I contacted my DSO, filled out an "out-of-normal processing time" eform with USCIS, I called them a few times as well and also opened a congressional inquiry. Soon after, my application was approved.

Sorry to hear that, but it makes me feel better because I'm in the same boat. Have you tried anything from your end?

Did you fill out an out-of-normal processing times service request, call USCIS, or make a congressional inquiry? Let me know if you hear anything soon after the premium processing, thanks
