The State Department has released the July 2010 Visa Bulletin, which summarizes visa availability. The most significant employment-based visa development concerns the oversubscription date (i.e., the date on which the availability quota was met) of EB-2 visas – visas for members of the professions holding advanced degrees or for persons of exceptional ability. The EB-2 oversubscription date for Indian nationals moved from February 1, 2005, to October 1, 2005 since the last visa bulletin in June 2010.
