Answer

After 22 years, the case was probably administratively closed.

If you still have the I-130 approval notice, I would suggest that you re-file the I-485. If not, you can apply for a duplicate approval notice, assuming the archives can find the file.

Alternatively, just re-file the I-130 & I-485 again. This would be your best & fastest alternative, although a little more costly than 22 years ago.
