Immigration To The USA - Introduction
The United States of America ( USA ) admits between 700,000 and 900,000 legal immigrants each year. This number does not represent the actual number of people settling in the USA lawfully-rather it represents the total number of people who were granted permanent residence ( " green cards " ), half of whom are already living in the USA, some illegally and others legally on temporary visas. Statistics from the Census Bureau show that in March 2005, a new record of 35 million foreign-born persons was reached in the USA. The data also indicates that the 5 year period 2000-2005 has been the highest 5 year period of immigration in American history with 7.9 million new immigrants ( legal and illegal ) settling in the USA.
The mechanism for selecting legal immigrants to the USA is very complex, however all legal immigration flows have at least three components:
(a) The family component
The family immigration program admits the spouses, parents and minor children of US citizens without numerical limits, and has limited categories for adult sons and daughters of US citizens, the siblings of citizens and the spouses and children of non-citizens.
(b) An employment component
The employment based visa categories compromise a complicated collection of preferences ranging from "priority workers" to unskilled and religious workers and investors.
(c) A humanitarian component
The humanitarian categories include refugees, asylees and those receiving "cancellation of removal" ( that is, longtime illegal aliens whose deportation would cause hardship for US family members).
In addition, there is a Visa Lottery for people from countries other than the primary sources of current immigration.
In addition, there are many categories, where one is able to apply for a temporary visa such as a Student Visas or Temporary Work Visas.
