| Summary: | This data collection contains information on the
characteristics of aliens who became legal permanent residents of the
United States in fiscal year 1997 (October 1996 through September
1997). Data are presented for two types of immigrants. The first
category, New Arrivals, arrived from outside the United States with
valid immigration visas issued by the United States Immigration and
Naturalization Service. The second category, Adjustments, were
already in the United States with temporary status and were adjusted
to legal permanent residence through petition to the United States
Immigration and Naturalization Service. Variables include port of
entry, month and year of admission, class of admission, and state and
area to which the immigrants were admitted. Demographic information
such as age, sex, marital status, occupation, country of birth,
country of last permanent residence, and nationality is also
provided. |
