Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to you to strongly express my deepest concern regarding the most recent Visa Bulletin (for 4/2008) posted on the Department ‘s website on 3/13/2008.
According to this Visa Bulletin, all potentially unused Visa numbers from Employment-based category 2 are only made available to Indian applicants rather than the applicants from other countries whose cutoff dates are not current. Apparently, this new Visa Bulletin shows us two messages as followings:
1. Unused numbers of can be used to apply on that country’s available employment based visa number if a country’s per-country limit has been reached.
2. Among more than 180 countries around the world, only one country is the subject to this favorable treatment and this country is India.
This is a serious issue of discrimination and unfairness, even possible unlawfulness, to all the hardworking and legal taxpayers from other countries including myself. Any irresponsible actions taken by the DOS will again put their reputation in jeopardy, which was already ruined by the chaos in last July.
Equality is one of the most important guiding principles in the United States. I hope the United States government could follow these principles and show that it is clear of any discriminatory acts by revising bulletin so that it does not contain any element could become under the scrutiny of justice for favoring one country over others.
I sincerely request an immediate explanation and an immediate correction on this matter.
Thank you very much for your help!
Attachment: Section D of the draft April 2008 Visa Bulletin:
D. INDIA EMPLOYMENT SECOND PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY
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.
Best Regards
