Actually, 4565 applications are complete applications too, so this number is already included in the 11544 complete applications counted in the cap.

Of course!
Let's take 3012:
746 + 254 = 1000
746 (PER)
254 (c-check, cost recovery)
I disagree with Namaste, but agree with Diplomatru.
Total number is 11.544 (first column) + 4.565 (second column) = 16.109 applications total. 4.565 is not included in the 11.544.
First Column = PER = MIAR, Cap Total
Second Column = "Completeness Check" OR "Completeness Check + Charge" = Pending Applications
Look at the text: "While we can't confirm how many of the pending applications will be added to the cap total, keep in mind that any NOC that is nearing 1,000 total applications may be full by the time we receive your application at our office if you apply today."
That's why we saw those weird behaviors from CIO: from one week to another, +300 applications. Because they were mixing the table with a few applications that counted First Column + Second Column (those that were capped), and a few applications that counted only First Column (those that weren't capped).
