Alas, my lawyer explained it to me like this: There is a front door (that allows people to submit paperwork), leading to a back door (that gives people Green Cards). You're already through the front door. All they're proposing is that the front door should be bigger, but they (the USCIS) don't have the resources to process even the people who are already through the front door and push them out the back door. Nobody seems to be proposing more resources so that the USCIS can get people through the system more quickly.
