The 2019 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics consists of a compendium of tables organized by subject matter,
including:
Naturalizations refer to persons aged 18 and over who become citizens of the United States. Most lawful
permanent residents are eligible to apply for naturalization within 5 years after obtaining LPR status.
Confidentiality
The Office of Immigration Statistics is committed to protecting the identity of individuals reported in the
2019 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics . All data tables, therefore, have been edited to avoid divulging
information about any individual by either direct or indirect means . The practice of cell suppression has been
generally employed by placing a “D” (disclosure standards not met) in any cell that would show a count of 1
or 2, and in any associated cell that could be used to reveal such a count through calculation . The process of
suppression does not change the marginal totals, so the integrity of the data is not affected .
