For example. unused numbers attributable to the quota for Great Britain and Northern Ireland would be assigned to the regional quota for Europe. while unused numbers attributable to the quota of Vietnam would be assigned to the regional quota for Asia. The Secretary of State would then make these numbers available for the issuance of immigrant visas to qualified immigrants to whom a first. second. third or fourth preference status had been granted on the basis of a petition approved by the Attorney General. The first preference class consists of skilled aliens so classified because of their high education. technical training. specialized experience or exceptional ability. and because of the urgent need for their services in the United States. The secondpreference class consists of the parents and the unmarried sons or daughters of citizens of the United States. The thirdpreference class consists of the spouses and the unmarried sons or daughters of aliens admitted to the United States for permanent residence. The fourthpreference class consists of the brothers. sisters. and married sons or daughters of U.S. citizens. including their accompanying spouses and children. The assigned numbers in each regional quota wouldbe made available for the issuance of visas to these preference immigrants who were born within the respective region. regardless of their country of birth. and in the same chronological order in which quota numbers are now allotted and charged against the national quotas. Any regional quota not fully used within the period specified for allotment of quota numbers would expire automatically at the end of such period. Addresses of Mrs.
