Immigrant Public Use Tape, 1972-1989, New York

This tape contains information on the characteristics of aliens who became legal permanent residents (immigrants) of the United States in fiscal year 1972 through to fiscal year 1989. Please note that the months included in each fiscal year may differ. These legal permanent residents either (1) arrived from outside the United States with a valid immigrant visa issued by the US Department of State (new arrivals), or (2) were already in the United States in a temporary status and adjusted to legal permanent residence by petitioning the US Immigration and Neutralization Service (adjustments).
