Asia Gets the Most Visas to the US
For all the heat the US takes it is still the number one country that people want to visit, to live in. More people apply for visas to America than to visit any other country in the world.
And the majority of the wannabe visitors to the US come from Asia.
The US issued about 5.4 million non-immigrant visas last for tourism, study abroad, business and so on.
More people from Asia came than Europe and South America combined.
More people from Asia came than Europe, Africa and Oceania combined.
Almost as many Asian came as did Mexican, Canadians and South America combined.
6. Oceania – 48,000
5. Africa – 252,000
4. South America – 748,000
3. Europe – 988,000 – and to think they hate the US so….
2. North America – 1.3 million
and
1. Asia – 2 million non-immigrant visas.
Besides having the largest pool of people to draw from, why do you think so many Asians want to come to the US?
What’s the appeal?
What do you think?
Copy and paste a comment I saw elsewhere. I totally agree with it.
********************
The passport-waived (i.e. Canadian) and visa-waived (those holding British, French, German, Japaness,… passports) visitors constitute more than half of the non-US-resident/citizen population inspected at ports of entry every year. Those who require a non-immigrant visa to enter are in minority. Kind of misleading for making this list, don’t you think, eh? It is as misleading as making a list of best NBA players, but excluding the Black guys.
*********************
Most Asian people would like to have a secured and much brighter future and most of these people recognize that their own homeland does not offer this thus seeking new and greener pastures.
