Sounds properly kafkaesque. Being stuck in bureaucracy is my 2nd biggest realistic fear. (after dying while riding my bike in the US) It appears as though getting the congressperson involved might've helped. It is nice to see that people can actually get in touch with their congressperson here in the US. A sign that democracy does somewhat work as intended. Anecdotally, since Trump took office, the processing times for visa/EAD went up by 50%-ish in my peer group. Visa rejections for H1B also went up hugely among those who appear super qualified. 2 Friends' H1b was rejected for Data Science roles at a FANG despite having a CS/Comp Math major from Stanford and another having studied Information systems at another top 10 US-CS school.

  to be fair to both sides: He did propose a merit based H1b draw, which is stuck in processing. He also made it a lot harder for exploitative body shops like TCS/Infosys to get get approved for an H1b, making it easier for qualified unicorn/FANG-esque companies with real demand to get picked in the lottery.
