It was well said that the current mess was caused by the miscommunication between DOS and CIS. However, with more and more information were released.
I am more likely to believe the mess was a smart plan for backlog reduction.
To maximum the backlog reduction, the most effective way is to make all EB category current. However, CIS definitely didn’t want to accept new applications because it will make the backlog worse. It looks like mission impossible.
However, they found a beautiful point: July 1 is Sunday. All cases with NC cleared can be assigned a visa number in this day because all EB are current
. It is not against law. some applicants whose priority dates were not current in June got the precious visa number(source:http://www.usimmlaw.com/current_information.htm). Because it is Sunday, USCIS had right of excuse that they won’t accept any new applications. Immigration officials can work overtime in weekend to consume visa number to reduce backlog.
On July 2, a revised visa bulletin was released: all EB visa are not available. USCIS can reject any new applications. The smart plan of backlogreduction was successful. Indian and then Chinese gained benefit from the plan eventually although it may hurt July filers temporarily,
The above is purely personal speculation. It is up to your own discretion
