A new report revealed that 29,723 Nigerian immigrants in the US
‘overstayed’ in 2018, after arriving as non-immigrants through the air
or sea port of entry (POE).
The report titled: “The fiscal Year 2018 Entry/Exit Overstay
Report", shows the numbers and rate of expected departures of
foreigners, who arrived in the United States as non-immigrants.
195,785 Nigerians who were given visas into the US, were expected
to leave ”within the above window.” However Nigeria had 15.18 per cent
rate of overstay, and a suspected ‘In-Country Overstay’ rate of 14.81
per cent.
A push further revealed that 29,723 Nigerian immigrants in the US
‘overstayed’ in 2018 (No departure record for 29,004 immigrants; while
only 719 travellers left the country after their visas expired).
On the other hand, Djibouti, a small Africa country, has the
highest rate of visa overstay immigrants at 180; with 403 expected
departures.
The numbers translate to 44.67 per cent and a Suspected In-Country Overstay rate of 43.92 per cent.
