Is there any different type of US residency beyond permanent residency? Is h1b holder a US Resident?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H1B_visa hb1 visa is just a work visa or simply put a work permit.you can stay for up to 6 years. An H-1B alien can be the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition, apply for adjustment of status, or take other steps toward Lawful Permanent Resident status without affecting H-1B status. This is known as “dual intent” and has been recognized in immigration law since passage of the Immigration Act of 1990. During the time that the application for LPR status is pending, an alien may travel on his or her H-1B visa rather than obtaining advance parole or request other advance permission from the INS to return to the U.S.
