This rule will affect those who were not registered or fingerprinted when applying for their visas, thereby allowing the government in the U.S. to keep track of the legal status and movement of foreign nationals within the country. For you, planning a long-term stay, this could affect your immigration process; thus, it\u2019s important to know how it will apply to you under the alien registration requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Who Is Already Registered for the Alien Registration USA Process?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain foreign nationals already have registration USA requirement privileges and so do not need to take further steps. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders).<\/span><\/li>\n<li

style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonimmigrants who have received an I-94 (whether it\u2019s expired or not).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:
