Regarding part 4, what's the difference between having a residence permit and staying legally (with an expired visa)?

@fkraiem The difference is that not everybody who stays legally has a residence permit. But if you have a residence permit or green card, you don't really care about the distinction, this is mostly relevant for visitors who entered on a non-immigrant visa.

So this is a US-specific thing then? (The question was purely academic, I am actually living in Japan, where everybody who's not a tourist is a resident and has a residence card.)
