Seems everyone is getting theirs... so I called them a week ago.. just got an email.

Thank you for contacting us about your I-130 petition. We understand the effects our processing times can have on applicants and are working diligently to shorten the processing time. You should receive a notice on your I-130 petition by February 18, 2011. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Wonder if this means i will get it approved ( notice as in NOA2 ) or just will tell me i'm missing something?

You should really visit the CSC-TSC thread. Part 2 is here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/295136-california-to-texas-texas-to-california-part-2/ Many people got approvals this week. I'm sure yours is right around the corner.
