Lawfully present
A lawfully present immigrant refers to any noncitizen or immigrant presently permitted to remain in the United States. Lawfully present means that USCIS has actively granted these immigrants permission to remain in the U.S. and has issued documentation of their lawfully present status that is currently valid. A lawfully present immigrant must still meet state residency requirements in WAC 182-503-0520 in order to qualify for health care coverage.
