<p>Also, the notes of the April visa bulletin discussed the availability of visas for EB2 nationals of India,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>D.   INDIA EMPLOYMENT SECOND PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY</strong></p>
<p>Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual “per-country” limit.  It has been determined that based on the current level of demand being received, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices, there would be otherwise unused numbers in the Employment Second preference category.  As a result, numbers have once again become available to the India Employment Second preference category.  The rate of number use in the Employment Second preference category will continue to be monitored, and it may be necessary to make adjustments should the level of demand increase substantially.</p></blockquote>
