Ally I totally understand your frustration on how this works. There's cases I have seen that have been approved and they are from Dec.

Thank you everyone!!! Can any one tell me what is the next step to get the case going??

It's the Chicago field office. Someone with a powerful position told them to start reviewing our cases that were sent by NBC due to the workload transfer. Everyone sent to Chicago should be getting news.

13AUG2012 I-130 sent by FedEx to Chicago
15AUG2012 I-130 packet delivered to mailroom, per FedEx.com
18AUG2012 NOA1, rcvd SMS & email saying case is routed to Vermont Service Center, later rcvd by snail mail
21AUG2012 the date on next I-797C received only by snail mail, says petition transferred to Lee's Summit,MO
28AUG2012 "touch" (website shows case was updated)
03OCT2012 the date casefile was sent to Atlanta, per phone call with ISO
01FEB2013 infopass at Atlanta, casefile has not even been assigned to anyone yet!

21JUN2013 NOA2, email received! USCIS website is updated! No SMS was received.

Letter rcvd later by snail mail from NBC, Lee's Summit, MO; however, I know file was adjudicated in Atlanta.
