You might want to look again there are all kinds of cases from jan to june of 2003
Folks, don't despair! These particular numbers do not mean much. Let's say one is a few months away from approval. He adds his spouse as a derivative beneficiary. Both get approved when the primary applicant gets approved. In the stats this will look like a very recent application has been approved. Marriage-based cases are the same thing. If, for whatever reason, I add beneficiaries late, their LIN numbers are higher than mine and will show up as more recent approvals. I am not sure that ImmigrationWatch focuses on EB cases only. Add to that the (typically simpler and faster) NIW and EB1 situations, and it is a very mixed set of numbers that is impossible to draw trends from.
