It means they've started work on your case .... you're not approved till you get the "approval notice sent" email or update on the website .... or a random NOA2 in the mail.

Vermont have only approved a couple of I-129F's since Christmas ..... most are left by the wayside

WHAT ABOUT I-130? IS THERE A WAY TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS BY CALLING OR SOMETHING.

nope, you absolutely cannot do anything. If you have passed 180 days since your receipt date (aka NOA1 date), you can write to your congressman or senator and maybe they can open the inquiry. Notice that even though USCIS claim they HONOR the date that your package arrives their mail room, it is totally bulls and not even senators office can do any good.

Long story short, you just have to sit tight and hope VSC can have mercy on you...

The fact your I-130 got a touch is very pleasing ..... and a very good sign.

I really hope they start approving more filers ....
