This study provides a detailed portrait of a large representative group of recent Filipino immigrants to the United States--their backgrounds before immigration their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics their family networks and their plans perceptions and hopes regarding life in the United States. The analysis which is based on scientifically selected samples of adult Filipinos who were issued immigrant visas in 1986 reveals the demographic and human resource characteristics of this cohort and the relationships between those characteristics and U.S. immigration policy. Other topics examined include expectations about various aspects of life in the United States comparisons of the United States and the Philippines on a number of important place dimensions the role of family networks in the immigration process and the factors related to occupational choices including entrepreneurship.
