Office of Immigration Statistics 1

IntroduCtIon

Statistical data on immigration have been published annually by the U .S . government since the 1890s . Over the years, the federal agencies responsible for reporting on immigration have changed, as have the con-tent, format, and title of the annual publication . Currently, immigration data are published in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics by the Office of Immigration Statistics in the Policy Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security .

The 2010 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics consists of a compendium of tables organized by subject matter, including:

Legal Permanent Residents (Tables 1 to 12)

Legal permanent residents (LPRs) are persons who have been granted lawful permanent residence in the United States . They are also known as “green card” recipients .

Refugees and Asylees (Tables 13 to 19)

Refugees and asylees are persons who sought residence in the United States in order to avoid persecution in their country of origin . Persons granted refugee status applied for admission while outside the United States . Persons granted asylum applied either at a port of entry or at some point after their entry into the United States .

Naturalizations (Tables 20 to 24)

Naturalizations refer to persons aged 18 and over who become citizens of the United States . Most legal permanent residents are eligible to apply for naturalization within five years after obtaining LPR status .

Nonimmigrant Admissions (Tables 25 to 32)

Nonimmigrant admissions refer to arrivals of persons who are authorized to stay in the United States for a limited period of time . Most nonimmigrants enter the United States as tourists or business travelers, but some come to work, study, or engage in cultural exchange programs .

Enforcement Actions (Tables 33 to 38)

Enforcement actions include the apprehension, removal and return of foreign nationals who are in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act . These actions occur at the borders of the United States, in the inte-rior of the country, and at designated sites outside the United States .

Technical Data Notes

The data presented in the 2010 Yearbook were obtained primarily from workload and case tracking systems of the U .S . Department of Homeland Security . Definitions by subject matter and information on data sources are available in the publications section of the website of the Office of Immigration Statistics at: http://www .dhs .gov/immigrationstatistics . Note that numbers appearing for a given year may change in subsequent Yearbooks due to updating of data series .

Confidentiality

The Office of Immigration Statistics is committed to protecting the identity of individuals reported in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics . All data tables, therefore, have been edited to avoid divulging information about any individual by either direct or indirect means . The practice of cell suppression has been employed by placing a “D” (disclosure standards not met) in any cell that would show a count of 1 or 2, or in any associ-ated cell that might be used to reveal such a count through calculation . The process of suppression does not change the marginal totals, so the integrity of the data is not affected .

NA Not available.1 Removals are the compulsory and confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States based on an order of removal. An alien who is removed has administrative or criminal consequences placed on subsequent reentry owing to the fact of the removal.2 Returns are the confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States not based on an order of removal. Most of the voluntary returns are of Mexican nationals who have been apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol and are returned to Mexico.3 Includes the 15 months from July 1, 1975 to September 30, 1976 because the end date of fiscal years was changed from June 30 to September 30.
