Does this mean people in the queue have to wait even longer, until 2023? I mean there are 70K plus post ITA people in the backlog and 2022 target is only 52K
Yes, most probably. As of February 1, about 15000 CEC and 50000 FSW in backlog. I'am assuming these assholes will process all the CEC this year. From Dec 15 - Feb 1, about 14000 CEC + FSW were processed, most of which will eat up into this years FHS target (let's say 10000). So the remaining quota for FSW this year us 55900 - (15000 + 10000) = 30,900. So only roughly 60% of FSW backlog will be processed this year. And this is assuming there are no more CEC draws. Maybe someone can double-check my math.
