I don't understand, will you be an American that temporarily lives and works in another country?

Or will you live and work in America temporarily?

In the latter case: why choose the us?

In the former case: Why only temporarily leave the US?

American Expat means leaving the USA. ”ExPat" means ex-patriot. Not the best word, but it's what people use.

Yea expats are foreign workers that intend to return home after some time. While immigrants are looking to stay.

I still maintain that there is some ambiguity with "US expat" but I ain't no native speaker. So what do I know.

I will return home to my parents and family for visits. I have permission to work from mexico from my company. I may come back if the states get their shit together, but I'm tired of fighting for a lost cause.
