I want to see this because for the 1st quarter 2018, I see almost 30k. So I want to be clear we are talking about the same thing.
It takes about 6 months to process one, so they have a 6 month lag.
My data comes from an Oct 1 C-span presentation by a Cornell historian who works on immigration history.
Her name is Maria Christina Garcia: https://www.c-span.org/person/?mariacristinagarcia
Here is the link to her presentation. Click on 22:00 and you will hear her citing the figures I gave. Better yet, listen to the whole thing from the beginning. It provides an overview of the history of immigration/asylum law, changing definitions, and the like.
U.S. Cold War Refugee Policy

Could you maybe provide a link to that 30k for the first quarter of 2018?
