Rumor indeed, nothing will be available at least until the summer. It will take a couple of months for anything to get approved, and then it is another 90 days before the visas are there to be used. Nothing is ever instant.

And if they did become available, they would go to those that have PD dates from several years ago, not to those that are just starting the process. Like just what happened last month, but it was only about one thousand or so that had not been used.
