Immigrant. She isn't an expat.
- Nursie 7y agoShe's both, expat is just a term used (mostly by brits in my experience) to refer to people of British origin living abroad. It refers to migrants.
- markdown 7y agoI see. In my part of the world, an expat is someone who took a job in another country. This country where they are currently resident isn't their home; they are merely there for the duration of their contract.
- codinger 7y agoExpat is a word to distinguish white immigrants from the rest of the immigrants. White Americans living abroad are called expats as well.
