08/06/2003: BCIS June 2003 Statistics Reflect Piling Backlog of Immigration Benefits Applications

The BCIS has just released the statistics of immigration benefits applications. Total immigration application pending cases reached 5,250,958, a 34 % increase when compared to June 2002. Considering the fact that for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 receipts increased less than 1 percent, while approvals decreased 20 percent compared to the same period for fiscal year 2002, mounting backlogs have been caused by backlog of adjudications . For the same period, denial of cases has increased 11%. The statistics thus supports this web site's assessment that the sources of backlog lies more with the problem of backlog in the backend (adjudication) rather than frontend (receipt handling).
