Let's get this straight - when you were talking about "Permanent
Resident" you actually meant permanent resident???
Or did you actually mean "Resident Alien" like the funny little guy with

Any time you make the distinction between US legal status and dictionary
definition I read it as such. Otherwise I go with the dictionary
definition.
A couple of posts back you used the US legal term and/or the dictionary
