India Employment Second Preference Becomes ?Unavailable? in February Visa Bulletin

By admin

The February 2008 Visa Bulletin was just released and the annual limit for the India EB-2 preference category has become “unavailable”. From the notes of the bulletin,

Despite two retrogressions of the India Employment Second preference cut-off date, demand for numbers by CIS Offices for adjustment of status cases has remained extremely high in recent months. As a result the annual limit for the India Employment Second preference category has been reached, and the category has become ?unavailable? effective immediately.

The cut-off date in EB-2 category for nationals of India had previously moved from “April 1, 2004″ in the November Bulletin to “January 1, 2002″ in the December Bulletin to “January 1, 2000″ in the January Bulletin. The retrogression continued in the February Bulletin and the category has become “unavailable”altogether.
