C-3 Proof of Citizenship backlog table update
Sorry for the delay while following the World Cup.
As others have noted, very little progress on the backlog this month, while new applications continue to flood in. I suspect that although they said only about 100 applications were affected by the suspensions, that it involved going back over *ALL* the C-3 applications already approved, and that it thus slowed EVERYTHING down. I also suspect that we will continue to see the affects of that in the form of a general processing slowdown for a few months.
