The term country quotas makes me so mad. Country quotas in the GC system are absolutely awful, because they base things on the one thing you cant change, where you were born. They favor iddly biddly countries like NZ, where the mediocre Kiwis get GCs way before well qualified and much better compensated Indians. (If you sense the condescension towards NZ in the previous sentence, its intentional. Its to give you a sense for how an Indian felt reading your post.)
