Mom's GC taking forever, no longer processing?

//sorry if this shows up as a duplicate thread. I posted earlier, but for some reason, my post is not showing up, so re-posting with a new title.

Greetings everyone. Seeking some help/advice on what to do

I am a US Citizen, and filed my mom's GC application earlier this year (I-130 petition for alien relative - US Citizen filing for parent). I also concurrently filed I-485 and I-131 (Advance Parole). We are in California. I mailed all the applications together to Chicago Lock Box. We received the receipts, then a notice for biometrics appointment and then we got the approved AP (I-131). Since then, nothing!

As of 7/12, the Processing Time Reports for California Service Center (https://www.immihelp.com/processing-...ing-times.html) was showing a Feb-15-2017 date for that category of I-130 (U.S. citizen filing for a spouse, parent, or child under 21).

Then something suddenly changed: Starting 7/18, that category/row just disappeared from the Processing Time Report for California Service center!! Being inquisitive, I looked at the Processing Time Report for Texas Service Center, and there is a row there for this category!!

Questions/Help needed:
1. Why is there no such row anymore? Did something change? Is the category on hold in California? Or should I be looking somewhere else?
2. Where should I look for info on processing dates for I-485? There is nothing showing in the National Service Center, and California Service Center only has I-485 for Employment based category.
3. My mom has legal obligations in India to settle a property dispute. She has an AP, but some people have advised against travel because, apparently some people are asked to come for an interview on short notice. Also, others have cited other issues at the port of entry. But my argument is - doesn't that defeat the very purpose of the AP? So seeking best advice.
3a. If she does use the AP to travel, is there a formal (or advisable) limit on how long she can be out of the country?

4. The legal obligation in India may drag on. I have heard that we could convert her petition to Consular processing. Is that correct? Is it advisable? Pros/Cons?
4.a If you advise "for", where should I find processing time for applications being processed in India?
4.b And finally, if we do somehow move to consular processing, does her application go back in the queue and a new priority date?

Sorry, I am asking a lot of questions, but things are a bit "tense" at home and many questions are flying. Any suggestion/recommendation/information will be welcome and appreciated.

Thanks, and cheers to you all. Hope you have a great holiday season.

Thanks S_R_E for info on finding my field office.

Re: the missing line item, I'd agree if this was fixed later. But the line is not showing since mid-July. So, something else seems to be off. Either way, I am unable to find the status for I-130.

Also, any suggestions for Q4?

Thanks!
