The first sentence reads, "The current cut-off date is approaching the most favorable date previously reached for applicants from China and India". This to me indicates that the current 3 months movement is a natural progress based on the numbers availability.
The second sentence reads, " The rapid forward movement is intended to generate demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices, which currently accounts for over 85% of all Employment-based number use". I take the word "intended" as "expected" in coming months. After all, this whole statement is about possible future movement.
And the last sentence reads, "Once the level of demand increases sufficiently, it may be necessary to slow or stop the cut-off movement, and a retrogression of the cut-offs at some point during the year is a distinct possibility." This is straightforward. After generating enough demand during the next few months, the movement will eventually slow down, stop or retrogress.
So, the bottom line is that we haven't yet seen the rapid movement. What we have seen in the current bulletin is the normal movement based on the numbers available and most of the cases till July 15th will be cleared soon. And a big movement is on the cards for the next couple of visa bulletins.
Am I reading too much into this statement?
