The bottom line is that USCIS has suddenly found large amounts of non China/India EB1 and EB2 cases to process during the past month or so. They have also indicated that they have well over 12,000 of such cases which they plan to process during the remainder of August and September. This recent demand, and new level of Aug./Sept. demand had never been identified by USCIS as a potential issue during our discussions in recent months.  This change in their processing completely different  than the historical number use pattern which had been experienced through May/June, which was reasonably expected to continue throughout the summer months.  That is why I had thought that the Sept. EB1/EB2 cut-off would be at least July 1, 2007.  When they contacted me last Friday describing their future workload plans that totally changed everything.
