He has a legal status similar to refugee, but not technically the same because he didn’t apply for asylum within a year of entering.

So yeah, not an illegal alien. Legal resident.

    To get more technical, he had the kind of residency that has a higher standard than being an asylum seeker that prohibits them from being deported to the country they are from.

    El Salvador was the ONLY place he was not allowed to be deported to.
