I'm not "backpedaling" - I've pinged the person who cited that stat.
Perhaps if you maintained a steady course, a rudder, even a consistent philosophy or theme - even when others disagreed, you would not have so much trouble having to back pedal or play parsing games.
BTW, it was a belated ping. You missed GarySpFc the first time you mentioned his name - violating the "rule of posting etiquette" that you mistakenly accused me of breaking.

My apologies, I looked up the latest State Departments Visa Bulletin and the Pilipino adult brothers and sisters of US Citizens do take 23 years to immigrate.
