直接看USCIS的定义吧。拿了绿卡的还是 Alien

Permanent Resident Alien
An alien admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident.
Permanent residents are also commonly referred to as immigrants; however,
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) broadly defines an immigrant as
any alien in the United States, except one legally admitted under specific
nonimmigrant categories (INA section 101(a)(15)). An illegal alien who
entered the United States without inspection, for example, would be strictly
defined as an immigrant under the INA but is not a permanent resident alien
. Lawful permanent residents are legally accorded the privilege of residing
permanently in the United States. They may be issued immigrant visas by the
Department of State overseas or adjusted to permanent resident status by U.S
. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the United States. |
