The federal government limits the overall number of employment-based green cards to 140,000 a year and restricts the number of green cards per country to no more than 7% of the available visas.

In nations where the demand for employment-based green cards is the highest -- China and India, in particular -- it has meant waits of five years or longer for a visa. The Chaffetz/Smith bill would eliminate that 7% restriction, effectively reducing the wait times for workers from India and China. But it could lengthen the wait for green card seekers from other countries by creating a first come, first served global visa system.

The per-country limit, according to the U.S. State Department, "serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the annual limitation by applicants from only a few countries."
