Leo,
At the moment, that is what concerns me as well. The Google Translation says:
That is a bit ambiguous. It can be taken to mean 121k as of 13 July, 2011 or it could be the figure as at the end of July.Sender: NIUNATIONAL (NIU), the letter area: EB23
Title: NIU government relations group to obtain the approval letter stand progress data: BBS Unnamed Space Station (Thu Jul 14 11:47:42 2011, U.S. East)
Government Relations Group ERIC JI through FOIA channels have access to employment-based immigration approval of FY 2011 data, in the first half ended April 30, approved a total payment of employment-based immigration quota of 52,475 a green card. Oppenheimer also public relations group of volunteers and the communication, as yesterday informed career has approved a quota of 121,000 green cards.
NIU volunteers will be on data and analysis obtained from the first half of 2011 FOIA monthly approval data for further analysis, looking forward to their follow-up discussion and analysis
Since 14 July, 2011 post dates the August VB date of July 11, 2011, it is also possible that it includes visas allocated to August, but not actually used yet, since USCIS have not made the final approval.
Without more explanation, I can't decide what the figures mean.
Subsequent discussion in the thread seems to confirm equal confusion and I did not see a definitive answer. There were plenty of posts where they were discussing 19-20k over 2 months - in fact that seemed the general consensus.
The second thread seems to start with the presumption that the full 19k are available in September, but that seems to be an assumption, rather than fact.
