I don't remember where I got the 80,000 backlogged so I hope it's not true. But I also read somewhere the quota this year was 60,000 and last year was 48,000 and they mentioned 80,000 backlogged applictions.
Here's the article I was referring to how they processed the backlogs. It also mentions their goal is to reduce processing further to 6 months and they've injected $20 million to make the process faster.
