The US Immigration Visualizer displays immigration data from 2005 to 2016. Users can select what data to view in two major categories and several subcategories. Users can navigate the data years manually using a slider or via slideshow. Detailed data is displayed when users hover over countries.
All data retrieved from the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics published annually by the US Department of Homeland Security.
LPRs: Lawful Permanent Residents (often referred to as “immigrants” or “green card holders”) are non-citizens who are lawfully authorized to live permanently in the US. LPRs may apply to become US citizens if they meet certain eligibility requirements. LPRs do not include foreign nationals granted temporary admission to the US, such as tourists and temporary workers (including H1B visa holders).
3-year average: ≈1.08 million people/year. For more information, including information on subcategories, visit https://goo.gl/dN78yY.
NIs: Nonimmigrants are foreign nationals granted temporary admission into the US for reasons including tourism and business trips, academic/vocational study, temporary employment, and to act as a representative of a foreign government or international organization. NIs are authorized to enter the country for specific purposes and defined periods of time, which are prescribed by their class of admission.
