Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

My son's petition was cancelled by my wife because of an argument. However, she rienstated it and the petition is now sent back to USCIS. The case staus on USCIS (post decision) says that they received the filing on July 29th 2011 and will notify us if they need additional documents. It has been almost 8 months. We initially filed the I-130 in Mar 2011. What are the next steps?
