你说的有道理，不过有一个问题我们始终想不明白，就是根据官方数据，EB1的backlog要远低于EB2/3，那为什 ...

Q. Why have the dates in some categories in the October 2023 Visa Bulletin not advanced sufficiently to allow new applications?

A. USCIS and DOS have significant volumes of employment-based adjustment of status and immigrant visa applications in their inventories. For some categories, including EB-2 and EB-3 for noncitizens chargeable to India, the agencies already have sufficient applications on hand to use up all of the available visas for FY 2024 and several fiscal years in the future. INA 203 requires that DOS make “reasonable estimates of the anticipated numbers of visas to be issued  during any quarter of any fiscal year…and to rely upon such estimates in authorizing the issuance of visas.” In addition, INA 245 requires, among other things, an immigrant visa to be “immediately available” at the time an application for adjustment of status is filed. Given these statutory provisions, when the agencies already have enough inventory to use several years’ supply of immigrant visas in a particular category, it is not reasonable to advance the dates in the Visa Bulletin to allow the filing of new applications.  (Added 9/15/2023)
这里只提到了India的EB2/EB3，没有提到中国EB1。但是逻辑上说，如果FY23末中国EB1申请人还有一些CRP需要从FY24的名额里面拿，那么10月EB1有一些前进就说明这些CRP应该会很快处理完，然后下个月开始就处理新的case。因此对EB1可以保持谨慎乐观的态度。
