Just got an email from the ombudsman saying something different than what other people posted.
I think it's just more of their usual BS, but perhaps "being actively reviewed" sounds encouraging:

"The CIS Ombudsman's Office received an update from USCIS informing your case is still being actively reviewed. USCIS is not sure how long the review will take but will continue to provide the Ombudsman’s Office with updates.

As the updates are received, you will be notified. We hope that you find this information to be helpful and thank you for your continued patience."
