1 Data are for authorized final ceiling admissions. 2 Data for Vietnam are incomplete. Data represent only Vietnamese processed by the Resettlement Opportunity for Vietnamese Returnees (ROVR) Program. Data are unavailable for refugees processed under other Vietnam in-country programs that dealt with former reeducation camp detainees and adult children of formerly admitted refugees. 3 Amerasians from Vietnam are not included as refugee arrivals because they enter the United States on immigrant visas. The number of Amerasians was 809 in fiscal year 1997, 373 in 1998, 241 in 1999, 1,004 in 2000, and 379 in 2001.

NOTE: The geographic areas used in this table are unique in the yearbook and are based on the classification used by the Department of State in its reports on refugees. The corresponding country composition of the geographic areas used is also based on the same Department of State classification. To illustrate the differences between the classifications used in this table and in others such as table 22 and table 24, consider North African countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. In table 23, these countries are classified as part of Near East/South Asia while in tables 22 and 24 they are included under Africa. We adopted the Department of State classification in this table to make approvals data consistent with authorized admissions and arrivals data.

At that time, the fiscal year definition was changed from July 1-June 30 to October 1-September 30. 6 Data for 1996-2000 have been updated.

NOTE: The Refugee Act of 1980 went into effect April 1, 1980. Data for fiscal years 1982 and 1983 have been estimated due to changes in the reporting procedures during those two periods. Since April 1, 1991, authority to decide most asylum claims has resided with the INS Asylum Officer Corps. See Glossary for fiscal year definitions.
