US Immigration Quotas by Country

US Immigration Quotas is not in regulation anymore. The United States doesn’t have strict quotas for immigration by country anymore. This system ended in 1965.

The U.S. has a system with preference categories and limits on the number of visas issued. Here’s a breakdown:

Per-Country Limits: There’s a limit on the percentage of visas issued to citizens from any country.

No country can get more than 7% of the total family-based and employment-based immigrant visas each year.

This prevents a single nation from dominating the process.

Preference Categories: Visas are allocated into different categories based on the reason for immigration—reuniting families, employment skills, etc.

Each category has its own backlog, which can affect visa wait times.
