The Difference Between Visa, Status and Lawful Presence

Visa, status, and lawful presence are all terms that relate to a non-citizen's ability to enter and remain in the United States, but they refer to different concepts:
00:00 Visa
00:55 Status. What Is the Difference Between Visa & Status?
02:20 Lawful Presence
People often use the terms “visa” and “status” to mean the same thing; they refer to different things. The term “visa” refers only to the sticker you receive in your passport, whereas “status” refers to your formal immigration classification in the U.S. as indicated on one's I-94 record.
Lawful presence means that a person is legally living in the United States according to federal immigration laws.
