Resident Alien definitely does not mean green card holder~~~ If u have been in U.S. for more than 5 years, u can be classified as Resident Alien. Resident Alien is not qualified for several tax exemptions~~~ -- by 会员 Apocalypse1231 (2011/11/26 11:04:21)
We were both wrong. According to USCIS, the term is used in three different scenarios. Green card holders are one of them.
Resident Alien
Applies to non-U.S. citizens currently residing in the United States. The term is applied in three different manners; please see Permanent Resident, Conditional Resident, and Returning Resident |
