a. Please advise how many cases are currently in the State backlog.
"As of September 30, NY has 52,250 in backlog and NJ has 22,987 in backlog."
b. Please advise the projected time frame to complete the April 2001 cases filed under RIR processing
"NY is processing RIR applications for Professional workers that were filed on 4/30/2001, and the best guess estimate is that NY will complete processing of these cases within the next 3 to 4 months. NY is processing RIR applications filed for Skilled workers in the middle of April. Because the volume of filings increased towards the end of the month, NY cannot predict how long it will take to complete processing Skilled worker April RIRs."
"NJ anticipates that it will complete the processing of its April 2001 RIRs in January 2003."
