We're doing two things. The first is only agreeing to process as many applications as we can in a given year. I don't believe it's fair to give would-be immigrants false hopes that they might get in here sometime in the next six to ten years. I don't think that's fair to them at all. This way, what we're doing is being upfront with them and being realistic with them so that they can get on with their lives.
