She would not be an illegal alien. An illegal alien is someone who enters this country illegally or without the country knowing it.

Well hey, if an illegal alien is only someone who enters illegaly then why bother getting residency. You mean to say that someone whose visa expires (without adjusting status) and they are still here are legal????? :blink:

She would not be an illegal alien. An illegal alien is someone who enters this country illegally or without the country knowing it.

This definition from the IRS website:

Illegal Alien

Also known as an "Undocumented Alien," is an alien who has entered the United States illegally and is deportable if apprehended, or an alien who entered the United States legally but who has fallen "out of status" and is deportable.

" An nonimmigrant who remains "out of status" for at least 180 days is deportable and will be unable to re-enter the United States for 3 years. A nonimmigrant who remains "out of status" for at least 365 days is deportable and will be unable to re-enter the United States for 10 years. Categories of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas may be viewed on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Web site.

Yes and 'out of status' = unlawful presence = illegal.
