Did you consider number of applicants, holes and highest numbers? This year is somewhat close to 2018 with these details and very different from the rest.
No, I didn't.... 2018 is somewhat similar, but the tendency is that there are fewer holes, so my guess is that number might be much lower. So I think that Jesse Bless was onto something with their litigation available to only EU applicants below 19k. On the contrary Immpact Team don't have any limitation, and based on their latest video I am not sure they understood
@Britsimon who tried to point out very slow progress and how this year is different from others.
We could stay on these VB numbers for the next few months. There was a historical slowdown in January-March with VB progress, but since we are somehow late and everything is delayed for a few months, we are about to experience a slowdown for March-May. I don't see that VB numbers would be changed if something is not drastically changed.
I am not convinced that two announced litigation will change anything. I also fail to understand how it would benefit plaintiffs, and that might discourage their participation in it. I think it would be fairer to have a class action, with public funding with a set goal, so everyone could chip in for a bigger cause.
We are yet to find out how COVID affects VB progress. They might artificially increase CN cutoff, as there might be smaller embassies idling because they sorted out current numbers and they are locked with slow VB progress as bigger embassies are impaired by COVID, redirection from other embassies, etc...
