Per-country limit
The maximum number of family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas that can be issued to citizens of any country in a fiscal year.

No more than 7 percent of the visas may be issued to natives of any one independent country in a fiscal year; no more than 2 percent may issued to any one dependency of any independent country. The per-country limit does not indicate, however, that a country is entitled to the maximum number of visas each year, just that it cannot receive more than that number.
