It is our position that unless you increase the target range, you will not substantively decrease the backlog, because we are already processing 250,000 applications every year with the existing staffing resources.
It would be good to get some allocation of resources to those visa offices where the wait times are too long. The wait times are too long in some visa offices, so if they can get some visa officers there to address those disparities, it would be helpful. But overall, with your existing plan—I have the annual report of 2007—it has 240,000 to 265,000 in the targeted range for 2008. Unless you increase this range, you cannot address the backlog. The backlog will just stay, because you have the existing complement of staff bringing in 250,000 every year, and they've done that for the last three years.
