The term non-immigrant is a classification of alien. When you take the word apart, its a person who does not intend to immigrate to the United States. Some aliens must apply for permission to come to the US temporarily, and they will declare their purpose for traveling to the US and if they receive permission to do so, their presence will have limited rights. Common examples are visitors coming to see their family, students, and employees.
Example: Lawrence decides that he wants to travel to the United States to complete a four-year degree program, and then to return to his home country when he is finished. Lawrence will apply for a non-immigrant, student visa.
