Hi,
I recently received my E21 visa foil, (outside of US), through consular processing. Currently, I'm living outside of U.S.. I understand that once I enter the U.S. (and before the visa expires), I will become a U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).
What is my legal status before entering the U.S., but whilst holding the U.S. immigrant visa?
Do I become LPR upon endorsement of the visa foil, or when I have received the visa?
The reason that I'm asking is that, various prospective employers are asking me if I'm an LPR, and what my legal status is.
Thanks
