Executive Summary

This report provides data on expected departures and overstays, by country, for foreign travelers

to the United States who entered as nonimmigrants through air or sea ports of entry (POE) and

were expected to depart in FY 2022 (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022).

An overstay is defined as a nonimmigrant who was lawfully admitted to the United States but

remained in the United States beyond the authorized period of admission. This can be a fixed

period or for the duration of a certain activity, such as the period during which a student is

pursuing a full course of study or any authorized technical/practical training program. U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) identifies two types of overstays: 1) individuals for whom

no departure was recorded (Suspected In-Country Overstays), and 2) individuals whose

departure was recorded after their authorized period of admission expired (Out-of-Country

Overstays).

Determining lawful status requires more than matching entry and exit data. For example, a

person may receive a six-month period of admission upon entry and then subsequently apply for

and receive an extension for the period of admission of up to six months from U.S. Citizenship

and Immigration Services. Identifying extensions, changes, or adjustments of status are

necessary steps to determine whether a person has overstayed their authorized period of

admission; this report was generated with improvements to data analysis in an automated fashion

to better account for these changes.

Valid periods of admission to the United States vary; therefore, it was necessary to establish

“cutoff dates” for the purposes of this report. Unless otherwise noted, the tables accompanying

this report refer to departures that were expected to occur between October 1, 2021, and

September 30, 2022.

In FY 2022, there were 23,243,127 expected departures, a 334.89 percent increase from the FY

2021 figure of 6,940,538, and 20,042,399 less than the five-year consolidated report average of

43,285,526 (FY 2017 - FY 2021). The increase in the FY 2022 expected departures population

can be attributed to a multitude of factors, including impacts from travel restrictions associated

with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there were unique challenges regarding data

associated with previous year FY 2021 travel also due to COVID-19, including temporary

changes in policy at USCIS allowing travelers to file for immigration benefits while out of status

and CBP granting a significantly increased number of “satisfactory departures” to people

travelling under the Visa Waiver Program. Furthermore, for some classes of admission to the

United States, such as certain asylum seekers or individuals adjusting status, complete relevant

data was not fully available for automated inclusion in this report. For these reasons, FY 2021

data was not previously released but is included here as an appendix. Factors affecting FY 2021

data were mitigated in creating the FY 2022 Overstay Report through changes designed to

improve and expand inclusion of automated data.

This report presents the overstay rates of those who remained in the United States beyond their

authorized period of admission with no evidence of an extension to their period of admission or

iii

adjustment to another immigration status. Rates are provided for the major categories listed in

the sections below.

iv

Total Overstay Rate

As noted, CBP determined there were 23,243,127 in-scope nonimmigrant admissions

1

to the

United States through air or sea POEs with expected departures occurring in FY 2022, which

represents the majority of air and sea annual nonimmigrant admissions. Of this number, CBP

calculated a total overstay rate of 3.67 percent, or 853,955 overstay events. In other words,

96.33 percent of the in-scope nonimmigrant entries departed the United States on-time and in

accordance with the terms of their admission.

This report breaks down the overstay rates further to provide a better picture of those overstays

who remained in the United States beyond their period of admission and for whom there is no

identifiable evidence of a departure, an extension of period of admission, or transition to another

immigration status. At the end of FY 2022, there were 795,167 Suspected In-Country Overstays,

which represents 3.42 percent of expected departures, and there were 58,788 Out-of-Country

Overstays, representing 0.25 percent of expected departures.

Due to subsequent departures and adjustments of status to lawful permanent resident by

individuals in this population, by February 1, 2023, the number of Suspected In-Country

Overstays for FY 2022 decreased to 706,952, resulting in the Suspected In-Country Overstay

rate of 3.04 percent. As of February 1, 2023, DHS was able to confirm the departures or

adjustments of status of more than 96.96 percent of nonimmigrants scheduled to depart in FY

2022, via air and sea POEs.

Visa Waiver Program (VWP) Country Overstay Rate

This report separates VWP country overstay figures from non-VWP country figures. For VWP

countries, the FY 2022 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 1.15 percent of the 7,413,023

expected departures.

Non-VWP Participant Countries Overstay Rate

For non-VWP countries, the FY 2022 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 6.94 percent of the

7,031,887 expected departures.

Student or Exchange Visitor Overstay Rate

For nonimmigrants who entered on a student or exchange visitor visa (F, M, or J visa), the

FY 2022 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 3.5 percent of the 1,240,182 students and

exchange visitors scheduled to complete their program in the United States.

2

All Other In-scope Classes of Admission Overstay Rate

For all other in-scope non-VWP classes of admission, the FY 2022 Suspected In-Country

Overstay rate is 3.82 percent of the 1,005,953 expected departures.

1

See Appendix A for a full list defining “in-scope nonimmigrant classes of admission.”

2

Excludes Canada and Mexico students or exchange visitors.

v

Canada and Mexico Overstay Rates

Unlike other countries, the majority of travelers from Canada and Mexico enter the United States

by land. Figures pertaining to Canada and Mexico are presented separately from the other

countries since air and sea information represents a smaller portion of the Canadian and Mexican

travel population. For Canada, the FY 2022, Suspected In-Country Overstay rate for those

traveling through air and sea POEs is 0.51 percent of 5,839,418 expected departures. For

Mexico, the FY 2022, Suspected In-Country Overstay rate for those traveling through air and sea

POEs is 3.46 percent of 7,264,746 expected departures. This represents overstays by people who

arrived by air and sea POEs and does not include overstays by people who arrived by land.

The FY 2022, report covers the same classes of admission as previous Entry and Exit Overstay

Reports.

3

These classes include those traveling to the United States temporarily for business and

pleasure, including those from designated VWP countries traveling under an Electronic System

for Travel Authorization, student travelers, worker classifications, and other classes of

nonimmigrant admission.

4

The only excluded classes are diplomats, crewmembers, travelers in

transit, and special protected classes under Section 1367 (Appendix B).

5

In FY 2022, DHS continued developing its overstay mission capabilities. The use of advanced

biometrics improved the Department’s ability to confirm travelers’ identities at border crossings,

and enhanced our ability to identify overstays. By the end of FY 2022, CBP had biometrically

confirmed over 147,938 Out-of-Country Overstays. The vetting unit responsible for assisting the

review of Out-of-Country Overstay leads is continuing the notification process for VWP

travelers who have overstayed their period of admission in the United States. This includes

emailing overstayers regarding their noncompliance and informing them of the ramifications of

their violation.

CBP continues to notify VWP travelers in advance of the end date of their period of authorized

admission. CBP plans to further expand these notifications to additional populations.

Additionally, the Department typically requires VWP countries with an overstay rate equal to or

exceeding 2 percent to implement a public awareness campaign intended to educate their

nationals on the importance of abiding by the terms of their admission to the United States.

DHS continues to improve its data collection of both biographic and biometric data on travelers

arriving or departing the United States, and some of these improvements are discussed in this

report.

II. Background

The purpose of this report is to identify the FY 2022, country-by-country overstay rates for all air

and sea, in-scope

6

nonimmigrant classes of admission.

The overstay identification process is conducted utilizing arrival, departure, and immigration

benefit information, which is consolidated to generate a complete history for individuals who

traveled to the United States and were subsequently admitted, as described below.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) receives advance manifests from commercial sea and

air carriers and private aircraft operators for all arrivals to and departures from the United States.

These manifests indicate who is aboard the aircraft or vessel. In the land environment, CBP

gathers travel information directly on all persons who enter the United States from Canada or

Mexico at land ports of entry (POEs). Furthermore, CBP receives travel data on persons who

enter Canada from the United States via land through a reciprocal sharing agreement with the

Canadian government, as well as gathering data directly on some persons who enter Mexico

from the United States. Additionally, CBP reconciles a significant portion of travelers who enter

through United States borders from Mexico since the majority of those travelers are frequent

border crossers, and CBP is able to close a previous arrival when recording a new arrival.

By law, CBP Officers (CBPOs) inspect noncitizens and examine U.S. citizens upon arrival at

United States POEs, which may include conducting an interview to determine the purpose and

intent of travel. CBPOs collect biographic information on all nonimmigrants applying for

admission and confirm the accuracy of the biographic manifest data provided by the carriers,

which are subject to fines for any missing or inaccurate data. For most foreign nationals, CBP

also collects fingerprints and digital photographs

7

to conduct biometric comparisons against data

previously provided to the United States. In addition, CBP strengthened the documentation

requirements at air, land, and sea POEs by requiring all travelers, U.S. citizens and foreign

nationals alike, to present a passport or other acceptable document that denotes identity and

citizenship when entering the United States.

8

For departing travelers, air and sea carriers provide biographic manifest data prior to all travelers

leaving the United States. Federal regulation requires carriers to provide specific sets of data,

which most often include name and passport number, and carriers are subject to fines for missing

or inaccurate data. CBP then matches this biographic departure data against arrival data to

determine who has complied with the terms of admission and who has overstayed. CBP

maintains a separate system specifically for this purpose. This system also receives other U.S.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data relevant to whether a person is lawfully present,

such as immigration benefit information or information on student visitors to the United States.

In general, transportation hubs and border infrastructure in the United States were not

constructed with exit processing in mind. For example, airports in the United States do not have

areas designated exclusively for processing travelers leaving the United States. Instead, traveler

departures are recorded biographically using outbound passenger manifests provided by

commercial carriers. Carriers are also required to validate the manifest against the travel

document presented by the traveler before the traveler is permitted to board the aircraft or sea

vessel. CBP is continuing efforts for a biometric-based departure program to complement the

biographic data collection that already exists for noncitizens for whom biometrics may be

required under 8 C.F.R. § 215.8. This program matches live photos of travelers to images in

CBP holdings, which may include photos from passports, visa photos, or from previous border

crossings, to better confirm the traveler’s identity as well as confirm exit crossings for

noncitizens required to provide biometrics.

Travelers arrive at land POEs via various modes of transportation, including cars, trains, buses,

bicycles, trucks, and on foot. There are major physical, logistical, and operational obstacles to

collecting an individual’s biographic and biometric data upon departure. Due to the existing

limitations in collecting departure data in the land environment, this report provides limited

departure and overstay information for land POEs. CBP’s ongoing efforts, described in this

report, will continue to improve the existing process and availability of departure data.

Biometric Air Exit

III Existing Operations

Air and Sea Environments

In the air and sea environments, CBP obtains entry records through both carrier-provided

manifest data and inspections conducted by CBPOs. CBP obtains biographic data on travelers

who lawfully enter or depart the United States by air or sea.

9

Federal regulation requires air and

sea carriers to submit passenger manifests to CBP; this information is then recorded as arrivals

to, or departures from, the United States.

10

Air carriers are required to provide data for not only

who has made a reservation for a particular flight, but who is actually on the aircraft at the time

the aircraft departs.

11

Airlines are subject to fines for making errors regarding who is or is not on

any particular aircraft.

12

Although CBP currently obtains biographic arrival and departure information on most foreign

nationals, and in many cases biometric data, CBP is committed to continuously improving

existing biometric and biographic exit and entry processes. This work is providing new

opportunities to verify an individual’s identity and facilitate collection of new biographic

information on individuals where none previously existed.

CBP employs a facial biometric matching service using biographic manifest data from the

Advance Passenger Information System and existing photographs of travelers boarding

international flights. The biometric matching service is a robust cloud-based service that

leverages existing advance traveler information to create a pre-positioned “gallery” of facial

images from U.S. Government holdings. The galleries are smaller, more manageable data sets

that can be segregated based on Advance Passenger Information System data for specific

flights. The photographs can come from passport applications, visa applications, or interactions

with CBP during a prior border encounter. The biometric matching service then compares a live

photo of the traveler to the gallery of facial images for that flight to identify the traveler and

enable CBP to biometrically confirm the entry of in-scope noncitizens.

13

On exit, the matching

service identifies the traveler, creates an exit record, and enables CBP to biometrically confirm

the departure of in-scope noncitizens.

CBP is working towards full implementation of the Congressionally mandated comprehensive

biometric entry-exit system in the air departure environment to account for over 97 percent of

departing commercial air travelers from the United States. In FY 2022, over 17 percent of in-

scope noncitizens departing the United States were matched biometrically upon exit. To realize

full implementation, CBP partnered with airports and airlines to deploy solutions to use

9

In addition, the Department obtains biometric information on all nonimmigrants who enter the United States via air and sea, except for those

who are exempt by regulation, which includes those over the age of 79 or under 14, diplomats, and certain other discrete categories. See 8 C.F.R.

§§ 235.1(f)(1)(ii); 235.1(f)(1)(iv).

B. Land Environment

biometric exit data obtained through cameras supplied by airports or airlines, which are

integrated with the biometric solution.

At the end of FY 2022, biometric capabilities were available at 33 locations. Biometric exit

operations can be conducted by CBP or airline employees and may not be operational at all gates

or on all flights. CBP continues to work with industry partners to implement biometric solutions

at the remaining airports in the United States, as well as increasing utilization at existing

locations. Since its inception, over 16.3 million passengers on over 1.7 million flights were

biometrically matched using the technology on exit, with an average biometric match rate of 98

percent; including approximately 24 percent of U.S. citizens and 12.3 percent of non-U.S.

citizens on exit. By the end of FY 2022, over 147,938 Out-of-Country Overstays were

biometrically confirmed. Similar successes occurred when using biometric technology in the air

entry environment.

Collection of departure information in the land environment is more difficult than in air and sea

environments due to the major physical, logistical, and operational obstacles involved with

electronically collecting an individual’s biographic and biometric data. While CBP is exploring

mobile options to collect biometric information prior to arrival in the land environment, it is not

currently feasible to obtain advance reporting of arrivals and departures, as the majority of

travelers cross borders as a driver or passenger in a vehicle or as a pedestrian.

Land Biometric Exit Mobile

In FY 2018, CBP expanded use of the Biometric Exit Mobile (BE-Mobile) program at land

borders nationwide. CBP deployed mobile technology to land border POEs, allowing CBP

officers working outbound pulse and surge operations to process exiting travelers using the BE-

Mobile application. The BE-Mobile application creates a biometrically confirmed exit record for

a departing traveler. This capability is another means by which CBP can close out entry/exit

records biometrically resolving some potential overstay records. Furthermore, CBP will allow

travelers to report their exits from United States land borders using the CBP One application.

Northern Border Departures from the United States

In 2011, Canada and the United States developed an entry and exit initiative under which Canada

and the United States agreed to exchange biographic entry records for land crossings between the

two countries, so that an entry into one is recorded as an exit from the other. On June 30, 2013,

Canada and the United States began exchanging biographic entry data for third-country nationals

(including permanent residents of Canada and United States lawful permanent residents) who

enter through land POEs along the shared border, where information is collected electronically.

Through this initiative, the United States has a working biographic land border exit system for all

Northern border crossings. CBP continually analyzes the additional crossing data provided by

Canada for enhanced statistical capabilities regarding overstays.

6

CBP currently matches 98.38 percent of the entry information received from Canada to

corresponding entry information in the Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS). To

date, this data-sharing agreement has yielded over 100.3 million departure records. CBP uses

this information to resolve previous traveler air or sea arrivals into the United States for those

cases where the traveler may then subsequently depart by land to Canada.

Southern Border

On the Southern Border, CBP conducts outbound pulse and surge operations as part of its law

enforcement mission. These operations are ongoing and provide some outbound departure

information on travelers departing the United States and entering Mexico.

Pedestrian

CBP deployed biometric capability to all pedestrian border crossings. As of March 2022, CBP

apprehended more than 1,319 imposters since program inception attempting to enter the United

States at these locations. This capability is used for arrivals into the United States but is also

helping to inform possible biometric exit solutions.

Vehicle

CBP is evaluating possible biometric enhancements to land vehicle crossings. Technical

demonstrations are in development, building on previous work in this area. This work seeks to

inform the agency on implementing an integrated biometric entry solution in the land border

vehicular environment.

C. Overstay Definition

An overstay is a nonimmigrant who was lawfully admitted to the United States for an authorized

period but stayed in the United States beyond their authorized admission period. Nonimmigrants

admitted for “duration of status,” who fail to maintain their status, may also be considered

overstays. “Duration of status” is a term used for foreign nationals who are admitted for the

duration of a specific program or activity, which may be variable, instead of for a set

timeframe.

14

The authorized admission period ends when the foreign national has accomplished

the purpose for which they were admitted or is no longer engaged in authorized activities

pertaining to that purpose. For example, a student who enters the United States for a program

designated for four years must leave when the program is completed, change to another

immigration status, or go on to pursue another program of study.

CBP classifies individuals as overstays by using ADIS to match records about departures and

immigration benefits to arrival records collected during the admission process. CBP further

identifies nonimmigrant status through manual vetting processes to support possible enforcement

action. CBP identifies individuals as having overstayed if the individual’s departure record

14

For example, “duration of status” for F nonimmigrants is defined as “the time during which an F-1 student is pursuing a full course of study at

an [approved] educational institution . . . or engaging in authorized practical training following completion of studies ….” 8 C.F.R. 214.2(f)(5)(i).

7

shows that they departed the United States after their authorized admission period expired (i.e.,

Out-of-Country Overstays).

15

CBP also identifies individuals as possible overstays if there are

no records of a departure or change in status prior to the end of their authorized admission period

(i.e., Suspected In-Country Overstays).

16

Improvements to reporting methodology now more

accurately account for individual travel histories or immigration benefit applications that

collectively affect expected departure dates and possible overstay status.

In this report, DHS presents ADIS-generated overstay rates by country of citizenship for

nonimmigrant visitors who were admitted to the United States through air or sea POEs,

regardless of overstay type.

17

The ADIS-generated overstay rates produced for this report depict

a snapshot of statistics reflecting the date the data was pulled for analysis. Although significant

progress has been made, challenges remain with the integration of systems used in the travel

continuum for reporting on classes of admission associated with land exits. It is anticipated these

challenges will be mitigated in the future through improvements in land data collection for

individuals exiting the United States and improvements in data exchanges with Mexico.

The following nonimmigrant classes of admission are not included in the report due to

unspecified authorized periods of stay and/or legal protections: diplomats and other

representatives, crewmembers, noncitizens in transit, and Section 1367 special-protected classes

(Appendix B).

D. Overstay Identification and Action

CBP maintains arrival and departure information for all foreign nationals based on border

crossings and carrier data. ADIS uses this information to generate daily overstay lists. These

system-generated overstay lists include checks against the CBP Automated Targeting System-

Passenger and information about immigration benefits held by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration

Services, reducing the overall list size by identifying persons who have departed the United

States or adjusted their status to another nonimmigrant or immigrant category. For Suspected In-

Country Overstays, the CBP Automated Targeting System-Passenger then applies screening

rules, as defined by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to determine the level of

priority for each system-identified overstay.

15

In these cases, DHS sanctions the individual who overstayed the authorized period of stay in the United States according to immigration law.

See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1202(g) (nonimmigrant visa is voided at conclusion of authorized period of stay if an individual remains in the United States

beyond the authorized period); 8 U.S.C. § 1187(a)(7) (referring to the VWP, “if the noncitizen previously was admitted without a visa under this

section, the noncitizen must not have failed to comply with the conditions of any previous admission as such a nonimmigrant”); and 8 U.S.C. §

1182(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) and (II) (noncitizen inadmissible for 3 years if unlawfully present for more than 180 days but less than a year and voluntarily

departs the United States prior to commencement of removal proceedings; noncitizen inadmissible for 10 years if unlawfully present for a year or

more and departs the United States).

16

Pending immigration benefit applications and approved extensions of stay, change of nonimmigrant status, or adjustment of status to lawful

permanent resident may extend or modify the authorized period of stay. For example, upon entering the United States a person may be granted a

six-month period of admission, but thereafter lawfully change immigration status prior to the expiration of that period, and in turn be authorized

to stay beyond the initial six months. These options are not available to all categories of noncitizens. See 8 U.S.C. 1258; 8 C.F.R. 248.2. For

example, those who enter under the VWP are generally not eligible to change or extend their nonimmigrant status. 8 C.F.R. § 245.1(b)(8); 8

C.F.R. § 248.2(a)(6).

17

The sea overstay rates are only reflective of the population that initially entered the United States through a sea POE but is not reflective of all

traveler arrivals where the vessel both departs from and subsequently arrives at the same location (commonly referred to as “closed loop”

cruises.) For example, if a foreign national already within the United States departs from the Port Canaveral, Florida Seaport for a seven-day

cruise in the Caribbean and subsequently re-enters at Port Canaveral, then that arrival would not be taken into account for the purposes of this

report.

8

As part of the overstay enforcement mission, DHS operational units further analyze these

system-identified Suspected In-Country and Out-of-Country Overstay leads. The In-Country

Overstay leads are worked by ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Counter Threat Lead

Development Unit (CTLD). CTLD is a national program dedicated to the investigation of

nonimmigrant violations that pose a national security or public safety concern. Each year, CTLD

analyzes records of over one million potential status violators from various investigative

databases and DHS entry/exit registration systems. To better manage investigative resources,

CTLD relies on a prioritization framework for these leads established in consultation with

interagency partners within the national intelligence and federal law enforcement communities.

Those nonimmigrant violators identified as posing a potential national security or public safety

concern are prioritized and referred to HSI field offices for investigation. Where nonimmigrant

violators are identified, but do not meet CTLD’s criteria for investigation, HSI sends that

information to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), National Criminal Analysis

and Targeting Center, which works in close coordination with CTLD for further vetting. If the

lead is credible and justifies further investigation, it is then forwarded to the respective ICE ERO

field offices for enforcement action.

ICE HSI special agents and analysts continuously monitor threat reports and proactively address

emergent issues. This practice has contributed to ICE HSI’s counterterrorism mission by

managing and supporting high-priority national security initiatives based on specific intelligence

from intra- and inter-agency partners. The goal is to identify, locate, and where applicable,

prosecute and remove those overstays posing current or potential national security and public

safety concerns to the United States. ICE HSI accomplishes its mission by conducting

specialized research and analysis, executing targeted operations and special initiatives, and

leveraging HSI’s expertise with partnering agencies. As part of the overstay enforcement

mission, HSI focuses its investigations on those subjects who pose a concern to national security

or public safety.

Throughout FY 2022, CBP continued to review and vet Out-of-Country Overstays. The ADIS

Vetting Unit receives Out-of-Country Overstays leads for CBP Officers and analysts to vet and

review daily. If during the vetting process a traveler is confirmed to have overstayed, the

traveler may lose their eligibility to participate in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) or their

nonimmigrant visa will no longer be recognized as valid by CBP. In addition, a 3-year or 10

18

-

year bar on reentry may be placed on the traveler on subsequent entries to the United States. To

date, the work of the ADIS Vetting Unit has resulted in over 271,665 actions taken of this kind.

CBP notifies VWP travelers in violation of their immigration status via email and through CBP’s

public website providing Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, and other immigration data. As

part of this effort, the public I-94 website was updated to provide VWP travelers with a web

portal where they can search their arrival and departure records. In January 2018, CBP began

notifying VWP travelers in advance of the end date of their period of authorized

admission. CBP plans to further expand these notifications to other populations.

18

8 USC 1182: Inadmissible aliens (house.gov)

9

To date, over 1,173,937 email notifications were sent.

19

The goal is to improve traveler

awareness, especially as it pertains to the length of time for which travelers are authorized

admission to the United States. CBP expects these proactive communications and improvements

will encourage travelers to be cognizant of their immigration status, especially as it pertains to

their period of admission while in the United States.

E. Overstay Rates and Coronavirus Disease 2019

Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a decrease in travel to the United

States resulted in fewer Expected Departures in FY 2021 and 2022. Expected Departures in

FY 2022 were 23,243,127, 55.4 percent lower than the pre-COVID 5-year average of

52,070,814

20

.

Travel restrictions enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were issued through several

Executive Orders and Federal Register Notices. The Executive Orders and Federal Register

Notices issued in response to COVID-19, as relevant to the findings in this report are as follows:

 Travel restrictions placed on China and foreign nationals who have traveled to China

within the last 14 days (February 2, 2020)

21

.

 Travel restrictions placed on Iran and foreign nationals who have traveled to Iran within

IV. Overstay Rates

Tables 1– 6 represent country overstay rates from FY 2022. For this report, the term “in-scope”

includes the following categories of nonimmigrant admissions: temporary workers and families

(temporary workers and trainees, intracompany transferees, treaty traders, and investors),

students, exchange visitors, temporary visitors for pleasure, temporary visitors for business, and

other nonimmigrant classes of admission.

28

This report calculates overstays by entry rather than

by individual. For example, if a traveler with a multiple entry visa enters multiple times during

the reporting period and overstays more than once during this time, each time the traveler

remains longer than the authorized period of admission is counted in this report as a separate

overstay.

In Tables 1 – 6, the term “Expected Departures” represents the entries by travelers from each

country who were lawfully admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant and whose

authorized period of admission expired within FY 2022. The “Total Number of Overstays” for

each country equals the summation of both the Out-of-Country and Suspected In-Country

Overstays (based on number of overstay entries) for a specific country. The “Overstay Rate” is

the percentage of entries by travelers from each country who overstayed their authorized period

of admission to the United States, regardless of type.

29

This rate is the percentage of the Total

Number of Overstays compared with the current fiscal year’s Expected Departures.

CBP identified 23,243,127

30

in-scope nonimmigrants who were expected to depart the United

States via air or sea in FY 2022. The FY 2022, nonimmigrant travel data identified a Suspected

In-Country Overstay rate of 3.42 percent (795,167) and a total overstay rate of 3.67 percent

(853,955) out of the overall expected departures of in-scope travelers in FY 2022.

Temporary Visitors for Business and Pleasure (Tables 2, 3, and 6)

Tables 2 and 3 present the overstay rates for temporary visitors for business and pleasure. The

overstay rates for temporary visitors for business and pleasure traveling under the VWP or on a

B1 or B2 visa are identified in Table 2. Similarly, Table 3 identifies the overstay rates for

temporary visitors for business and pleasure admitted to the United States under B1 or B2 classes

of admission for non-VWP countries excluding Canada and Mexico. The B1 and B2 overstay

rates for Canada and Mexico (Table 6) are separate due to the high percentage of land travelers

who are admitted to the United States relative to the other countries. It is important to note that

the total number of overstays, as identified in this report, does not equal the total number of

overstays who currently remain in the United States during this reporting period. That number is

lower because foreign nationals identified as possible overstays can subsequently depart the

28

See Appendix A for a full list of “In-Scope nonimmigrant classes of admission”

29

Rates are shown for countries as well as passport-issuing authorities and places of origin recognized by the United States. With respect to all

references to “country” or “countries” in this document, Section 4(b)(1) of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 (Pub. L. No. 96-8) provides that

“[w]henever the laws of the United States refer or relate to foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities, such terms shall

include and such laws shall apply with respect to Taiwan.” 22 U.S.C. § 3303(b)(1). Accordingly, references to “country” or “countries” in the

VWP authorizing legislation, Section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1187), are read to include Taiwan. See also 8

C.F.R. § 217.1(a). Taiwan entered the VWP on October 2, 2012.

30

Includes CBP identified travelers with TPS eligibility. In FY22 TPS eligible counts are 162,613 expected departures, 222 Out of Country

Overstays, 136,913 Suspected In Country Overstays, 137,135 Total Overstays

12

United States or adjust their lawful status. For purposes of this report, these are still considered

overstays.

VWP Countries Business or Pleasure Visitors Air and Sea Overstay Rate Summary

In FY 2022, CBP calculated that there were 7,413,023 B1, B2, Waiver-Business (WB), and

Waiver-Tourist (WT) expected departures for citizens of VWP countries. The FY 2022, VWP

countries’ total overstay rate is 1.32 percent of the VWP countries expected departures, and the

Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 1.15 percent of the VWP countries expected departures.

DHS acknowledges the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on some travelers’ ability to comply

with the terms of their admission to the United States, whether due to illness, government-

imposed travel restrictions, or irregularities in air carrier operations. Nonetheless, the 2017

Executive Enhancements to the Visa Waiver Program require VWP countries having a total overstay

of two percent or greater for the previous fiscal year to initiate a public information campaign to

educate their nationals on the conditions for admission into the United States. DHS, in consultation

with the Department of State, will engage with countries exceeding this threshold to undertake active

efforts to reduce their overstay rates.

Non-VWP Countries Business or Pleasure Visitors Air and Sea Overstay Rate Summary

(excluding Canada and Mexico)

For the FY 2022, non-VWP countries, CBP calculated 7,031,887 expected departures. The

FY 2022 non-VWP total overstay rate is 7.18 percent of the non-VWP expected departures, and

the Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 6.94 percent of the non-VWP expected departures.

Students and Exchange Visitors Rate Summary

For the purposes of this Report, the term “Expected Departures” located in Table 4 refers to a

date identified in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) based on the

authorized program or employment status of an F or M student or J exchange visitor.

31

The

system-generated overstay leads are created by ADIS matching information against SEVIS data.

However, one current challenge in this process is that ADIS is a person-centric data, but SEVIS

data is document-centric, meaning the system tracks a unique SEVIS identification number

associated with each Form I-20 issued. In a person-centric environment an individual is either

active or inactive, but in a document-centric environment a person could have multiple active

and inactive records, making it difficult to determine if a person is in valid status. To address

this issue, SEVIS is working on updates to become a person-centric system, which will greatly

enhance the automated matching capabilities between ADIS and SEVIS when generating

automated overstay lists.

In FY 2022, CBP calculated a total of 1,240,182 students and exchange visitors who were

expected to change status or depart the United States.

32

The total of 1,240,182 is composed of

31

“F” includes (F1/F2), “M” includes (M1/M2), “J” includes (J1/J2) classes of admission

32

This figure does not include the F/M/J classes of admission for those visitors with a Mexican or Canadian country of citizenship; those figures

are included in table 4. With the inclusion of Canada and Mexico, the F/M/J total overstay count and rate is: 1,332,829 and 4.28 percent (41,201,

3.93% F; 898, 8.7% M; and 14,997, 5.48% J)

13

982,439 F visa students, 9,417 M visa students, and 248,326 J visa categories of admission. The

F, M, and J Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 3.5 percent of the total number of students and

exchange visitors who were expected to change status or depart the United States. The

Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 3.23 percent for the F visa category, 5.02 percent for the

M visa category, and 4.49 percent for the J visa category. The total overstay rate (i.e., both

Suspected In-Country and Out-of-Country Overstays) for students and exchange visitors in

FY 2022, is 4.44 percent of the total number of students and exchange visitors who were

expected to have changed status or departed from the United States in FY 2022. The total

overstay rate is 4.09 percent for the F visa category, 9.14 percent for the M visa category, and

5.63 percent for the J visa category.

All Other In-scope Classes of Admission (excluding Mexico or Canada) Rate Summary

In FY 2022, for all other in-scope non-VWP classes of admission, CBP calculated 1,005,953

expected departures. The FY 2022 all other in-scope non-VWP total overstay rate is 4.51

percent of all other in-scope non-VWP expected departures, and the Suspected In-Country

Overstay rate is 3.82 of all other in-scope non-VWP expected departures.

Table 6 represents Canadian and Mexican nonimmigrant visitors admitted at air and sea POEs

who were expected to depart in FY 2022. Unlike all other countries, the majority of travelers

from Canada or Mexico enter the United States by land. Overstay data concerning land exits

from the United States along the Southern border will be further incorporated into future

iterations of this report as additional exit data collection projects progress.

G. FY 2021 Suspected In-Country Overstay Trend

This section presents the change in the FY 2021 Suspected In-Country Overstay rates by groups

of major admission classes over the course of FY 2022. Table 7 provides a 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-

month snapshot of the FY 2021 data, Suspected In-Country Overstay figures, and the associated

rates. Complete FY 2021 data appears in the appendix of this report.

At the end of FY 2021, the overall Suspected In-Country Overstay number – i.e., those for whom

the Department did not have evidence of a departure or transition to another immigration status –

was 236,628 or 3.32 percent. As of February 1, 2023, the number of Suspected In-Country

Overstays had further decreased to 190,009 rendering the FY 2021 Suspected In-Country

Overstay rate 2.67 percent.

V. Conclusion

Identifying noncitizens who overstay their authorized periods of admission is important for

national security, public safety, immigration enforcement, and maintaining the integrity of the

immigration benefits system.

Over the years, CBP has significantly improved data collection processes in the entry and exit

environments. These improvements include the collection of data on all admissions to the

United States by foreign nationals, reduced documentation for entry to the United States,

collection of biometric data on most foreign travelers to the United States, and comparison of

data against criminal and terrorist watchlists. Despite the different infrastructural, operational,

and logistical challenges presented in the exit environment, CBP can resolve many issues

regarding collection of departure information for foreign nationals. Further efforts, including

partnerships with foreign governments and the private sector (e.g., airlines, airports, cruise lines),

are ongoing and continue to improve data integrity.

During recent years, CBP made significant progress in terms of the ability to accurately report

data on overstays. In FY 2022, ongoing biometric deployments in air, land and sea environments

enabled continued progress toward the fusion of biometric and biographic verification of

travelers. CBP will continue to expand its entry and exit system, which will improve CBP’s

ability to capture and accurately report this data. The Department works to annually release

overstay data and looks forward to providing updates to Members of Congress and their staff on

future progress.

Appendix C. FY 2021 Entry and Exit Overstay Data

FY 2021 Entry/Exit Overstay Data Overview

Below are the tabulated rates from FY 2021 entry and exit overstay data. Due to effects

associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, this data has not been previously released, and

was significantly impacted by the global pandemic. Furthermore, in some cases accuracy

of overstay rates were impacted where temporary travel policies associated with COVID-

19 permitted for travel allowances not available during times of non-pandemic travel. For

example, these included temporary changes in policy at USCIS allowing travelers to file

for immigration benefits while out of status, or CBP granting a significantly increased

number of “satisfactory departures” to people travelling under the Visa Waiver Program

37

.

Therefore, the inclusion of these tables is for reference only. FY 2021 data provides

information on expected departures and overstays, by country, for foreign travelers to the

United States who entered as nonimmigrants through an air or sea POE and were expected

to depart in FY 2021 (October 1, 2020 – September 30, 2021). This is determined by

examining the number of entries, by country, for foreign travelers who arrived as

nonimmigrants during this time as of October 1, 2020.

At the end of FY 2020, the overall Suspected In-Country Overstay number – i.e., those for whom

the Department did not have evidence of a departure or transition to another immigration status –

was 584,885 or 1.27 percent. As of September 30, 2021, the number of Suspected In-Country

Overstays had further decreased to 282,905 rendering the FY 2020 Suspected In-Country

Overstay rate 0.61 percent.

FY 2021 Overstay Rate Summary

Table C-1 below provides a high-level summary of the country-by-country data identified in

Tables C-2 through C-6.
