My adjustment of status (I485) has been pending on FBI name check for
more than 12 months now. Here is my timeline:

May 2003: submitted marriage-based I485 application at San Jose
office.
Jun 2003: received advance parole and EAD.
Oct 2003: interviewed and passed at the above office. I was told
that my application was pending on FBI name check.
May 2004: contacted congressman for help but was told my case was
still pending.
Jun 2004: renewed my advance parole and EAD.

During the time, I have made numerous visits to San Jose office to
check my status and was told the same thing: still pending ...

Besides keep waiting, is there anything else I can do but I haven't
tried? Can I directly check with FBI? Any good or bad experience?

Any info is appreciated :-)

You could try contacting your local Congressman's office. I'm not sure
if he can do anything, but after it has been pending for such a long
time, it can't hurt to ask.
