During the third quarter of FY 2005, the backlog was increased by about 174,000 asylum adjustment cases. These cases were added after the enactment of the REAL ID Act of 2005, wherein a previous statute limiting USCIS from completing more than 10,000 applications for Form I-485, Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence for Asylees, was lifted. USCIS employees are working to address this influx of new cases, establish a maximum six-month processing period for every application received and eliminate the current backlogs by the end of FY 2006.

Does it mean that they are going to use up the EB visas?
