why F3 catagory is not moving ? anyone can give idea

Currently only 23,400 visas are allocated annually for the F3 category. There are probably 200,000 people waiting for visas in this category. During good economic times, more people apply for their kids; the US economy was really strong from 1998-2001. Also the number of visas allocated each year has not increased since at least 2003 (may be longer, I could only find info for the 2003 bulletins). This creates a backlog so the PD does not move in sync with the calender. Too much demand + limited supply = longer waiting time and a slow movement in the F3 category.
