14,000 Indians Overstayed In U.S. Last Year
The report breaks the overstay rates down further to provide a better picture of those overstays that remain in the U.S. beyond their period of admission and for whom CBP has no evidence of a departure or transition to another immigration status, DHS said in a statement.
At the end of FY 2015, the overall Suspected In-Country Overstay number was 4,82,781 individuals, or 1.07 per cent.
Due to further continuing departures by individuals in this population, by January 4, 2016, the number of Suspected In-Country overstays for FY 2015 had dropped to 4,16,500, rendering the Suspected In-Country Overstay rate as 0.9 per cent, it said.
In its report, DHS said a number of countries with ties to terrorism had significant numbers of nationals still in the U.S. accounted for by the federal government: 1,435 from Pakistan, 681 from Iraq, 564 from Iran, 440 from Syria, 219 from Yemen, 219 from Afghanistan, and 56 from Libya.
