5. The difference between asylees and refugees is their physical location when requesting protection: asylees apply after arriving in the United States whereas refugees apply from abroad, often a third country, and request resettlement in the United States.
6. The current annual ceiling for refugee admissions is 80,000 per year, with 5,500 allocated for Latin America and the Caribbean.

8. Furthermore, in an effort to discourage random surges in Cuban migration, the U.S. government set aside a minimum of 20,000 visas (excluding the immediate relatives of U.S. citizens) for Cubans seeking to immigrate and instituted a "visa lottery" to allocate the visas.
