Yeah, I noticed that on the uscis.gov website. what in the world is going on? they processd fewer cases (like 2000) in one of the years. arent they required by law to make up for that at least. and why can't this law of 10,000 per year be changed altogether? they are bringing in 50,000 more from overseas every year (and they get GC right away), yet I have been lingering here for the past 6 yrs, paying taxes, still without a GC? that's not fair.
