What type of alien is classified as someone who has a visa to remain in the country temporarily?

Lawfully admitted permanent resident aliens (LAPRS)
Illegal entrant aliens
Non-immigrant aliens
Stateless aliens

The correct answer is: Non-immigrant aliens

The classification of someone who has a visa to remain in the country temporarily aligns with the definition of non-immigrant aliens. Non-immigrant aliens are individuals who are granted permission to enter and stay in a country for a specific, limited period and for a specific purpose, such as tourism, business, study, or work, as dictated by the visa they hold. This classification is a fundamental aspect of immigration law, highlighting the difference between temporary and permanent residency. Non-immigrant status does not provide a pathway to permanent residency in the same manner that lawfully admitted permanent resident aliens (LAPRS) enjoy. It also contrasts with illegal entrant aliens, who do not have legal permission to enter or remain in the country, and stateless aliens, who neither belong to any state nor hold citizenship. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for recognizing the legal frameworks surrounding different types of migrants.
