It is absolutely ridiculous they claiming 3000+ cases completed
bull shit I guess they might have meant 3000 combining all adjudications viz, 765,131 485 everything
According to Kashmir's stats we have 200-250 cases approved every week.
BCIS should be sued if they are claimining completing 3000 cases in one month.

CSC Liaison Meeting Summary For August 27, 2003 (09-16-2003) [Top]
Adjudication Priorities
The priority for adjudications until September 30, 2003 is that of religious worker cases. It is anticipated that in October 2003, the adjudication of adjustment applications (I-485s) will resume at a faster pace (perhaps double). It is also expected that in October the adjudication of Employment Authorization Applications (I-765) and Advance Parole Applications (I-131) filed concurrently with I-140/I-485s will be faster, so that eventually these applications will be adjudicated within 45 days.. By the end of September 2003, it is hoped that H-1B visa petitions, except for extensions, will be processed within 90 days. H-1B visa extensions should be adjudicated within 4.5 months and eventually by the end of this calendar year - 90 days. However, the processing time for Immigrant Visa Petitions (I-140) will be delayed.
Adjustment Applications (I-485)
These types of cases, as mentioned above, are not a priority at this time. The JIT Report Processing Date will soon reflect a change from November 16, 2001 to December 16, 2001. Although it appeared that I-485s have not been adjudicated, the following statistics were provided as to the number of cases completed:
May 2,943
June 3,178
July 2,472
When normal resources are allocated to the adjudication of these cases, it was indicated that 4500 to 5000 cases are completed on a monthly basis.
Extensions of EADs and APs
The Service Center confirmed that when an Application for Extension of Advance Parole and/or Employment Authorization is adjudicated, the effective date will be the date of adjudication and not the date when the previous document expired or was to expire.
Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (09-02-2003) [Top]

This program is administered under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions. The following countries who have sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years are not eligible for this program: Canada, China (mainland-born), Columbia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam.
Entries for the DV-2005 Visa Lottery must be submitted electronically between Saturday November 1, 2003 and Tuesday, December 30, 2003. For requirements and instructions to enter, please see the above-referenced link.
TEMPORARY ENTRY OF PROFESSIONALS FROM CHILE AND
SINGAPORE (09-02-2003) [Top]
The Office of the United States Trade Representative issued a memo regarding the admission of Chilean and Singaporean professionals to the United States under the Free Trade Agreements with these respective countries. Pursuant to these agreements, 1400 Chilean Professionals and 5400 Singaporean professionals may be admitted under H-1B1 visas.
The specialty occupation in the H-1B1 visa program will be interpreted similarly to the term “specialty occupation” as defined for H-1B visas. H-1B1 Singaporean and Chilean professionals will be required to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent. Obtaining an H-1B1 visa will require an attestation (prior to entry) modeled after the Labor Condition Application for H-1B visas. The Chilean and Singaporean professionals will come under the H-1B umbrella, as H-1B1 professionals. These professionals will be capped under the overall H-1B program cap. A new attestation will be required for an H-1B1 professional every three (3) years. The same level of fees will be charged for H-1 and H-1B1 visas.

They may be the numbers of green cards that the US CIS had issued.Originally posted by kashmir

I have no time to confirm it now.
Anyway, the US CIS should show us the number of actual approvals.
