Office of Immigration Statistics

I ntroduCtIonStatistical 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 content, 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 interior 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 associated 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 .
