U.S. PERMANENT RESIDENTS AND OTHER ELIGIBLE
NONCITIZENS
A lawful permanent resident (LPR) is a noncitizen who is legally
permitted to live and work in the United States permanently. Other
eligible noncitizens:
• Refugees are given indefinite employment authorization. Their
status continues unless revoked by DHS or until lawful
permanent resident status is granted, which refugees may apply
for after one year.
• Persons granted asylum in the United States are also authorized
for indefinite employment, and they can apply for permanent
residence after one year. Asylee status continues unless revoked
by DHS or until permanent resident status is granted.
• Conditional entrants are refugees who entered the United States
under the seventh preference category of P.L. 89-236 or whose
status was adjusted to lawful permanent resident alien under
that category. Note that the DHS stopped using this category on
March 31, 1980.
• Persons paroled into the U.S. for at least one year must provide
evidence (such as having filed a valid permanent resident
application) from the DHS that they are in the U.S. for other
than a temporary purpose and intend to become a citizen or
permanent resident.
• Cuban-Haitian entrants.
Some non-eligible statuses are:
• Family unity status. Such individuals have been granted relief
from deportation under the Family Unity Program. Previously
they were eligible for FSA funds.
• Temporary residents are allowed to live and work in the U.S.
under the Legalization or Special Agricultural Worker program.
Previously they were eligible for FSA funds.
• Persons with non-immigrant visas, who include those with work
visas, students, visitors, and foreign government officials.

Does this answer the question or am I totally off base?
