abstract: In this talk we deal with the problem of topological classification of singular holomorphic vector fields $X$ in a neighbordhood $U$ of the origin in $\mathbb{C}2$. We begin with the (quasi) homogeneous case (TQH), in which the reduction of the singularity is achived after a single (quasi-homogeneous sequence of) blowing-up. The key result is the topological invariance of the holonomy, which remains an open problem in the general setting. In order to treat it, we present some ideas that we hope will be useful. First, we can consider a (JSJ) decomposition the complementary set $U\setminus S$ of the separatrices $S$ of $X$ into pieces of TQH type. In order to combine this merely topological result with the geometric data given by $X$ we need to use a recent result, obtained in collaboration with J.-F. Mattei, implying that each leaf of $X$ is incompressible in $U\setminus S$.
