Why is everything CIS' fault? The STATE DEPARTMENT NOT CIS CONTROLS THE MOVEMENT OF THE PRIORITY DATE!!!!!! That is also controlled by the number of cases both domestic and abroad getting approved in each category. The lack of movement means that the State Department has seen an unusually high request for visa numbers and is trying to make sure they don't run out before the end of the year. Numbers do not always move forward every month and sometimes they regress. Staying the same is better than moving backwards.

When I say "the end of the year" I mean the fiscal year which ends on 9/04 not the calendar year.

Rahlan:

Numbers don't move fast, true, but it is NOT CIS's fault.
Current level of Immigration is really TOO HIGH, so I don't think there will be improvements unless either there is a moratorium in overall Immigration, or Congress dedicates 10 times of current resourses to clear backlogs, while increasing the yearly quota to 3 mln/year (very unlikely move considering already TOO HIGH level of Immigration).


Good luck to you.
