Alien Registration Requirements - is it a Blanket Requirement?

[mam521 2,376]

Forgive my ignorance if this has been posted, but is there actually a list of the visa types aside from "visitors to the US staying more than 30 days" that have to register with USCIS?  Is it a blanket requirement?  Are dual intent visa holders required to register? 

 

I ask because I mentioned to my friend with a TN visa that I believe he needs to register because it's a non-immigrant visa stay in excess of 30 days.  He was going to verify with his corporate lawyers because he assumed that as an employment visa, he was exempt.  

 

Simply curious.

This is from the USCIS website. 
I have skimmed but not read fully. But it states who is already registered, who needs to registered and how to do it.

I assume it's everyone who isn't a PR or citizen.

i think this applies to those that entered the country illegally or kids who were brought without no fault of their own and they are now 14 years or older

Also applies to Canadians tourists who entered legally, if they're staying for more than 30 days.

Read the preceding paragraph which outlines who is already registered. Yes LPR are already registered because they had biometrics done for their visa or AOS
