Citizens

A US citizen is either an individual born in the United States or becomes a

naturalized citizen after 3 to 5 years as a resident in the nation. Citizens in

the US cannot be deported, apart from those cases involving citizenship

gained with the help of fraudulent methods.


Permanent and

Conditional Residents

These are two different types of immigration

status. Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) are all

those immigrants who have a Green Card and

have the authority to stay in the US and work

permanently. One can be a permanent resident of

the United States by having a family member or

employer fund him as a Green Card applicant or if

the immigrant turns into a permanent resident

through refugee or asylee status.


Nonimmigrant Status

People living and working in the United States

on a temporary basis are regarded as

nonimmigrants. Some instances of people with

nonimmigrant status could be those given

temporary protected status, business visitors or

tourists on B1 or B2 visas, fiancées on K-1 visas,

and students on an F-1 visa.


Undocumented

This is the final one of the four categories of

immigration status in the US. Who exactly are

undocumented immigrants? They are people

who get inside the United States without

permission or enter through illegal methods,

and in all such cases, they would not be able

to stay in the country permanently or even

temporarily.
