A permanent resident is an individual who has been granted the right to live and work in a country indefinitely. A permanent alien refers to a non-citizen who has been granted permanent residence in a country, but may not necessarily have all the rights and privileges of a citizen, such as the right to vote.

Are you still legal when marriage ends?

If sponsored by a spouse, who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, an alien may obtain permanent resident status through the use of a petition naming the alien as a direct beneficiary. Marriage is the tool by which this is done. However, if the marriage is terminated through divorce or annulment before permanent residence is granted, then the alien will not be eligible for permanent resident status by this affiliation. So the answer to your question depends on whether or not you completed your immigration status, if so then you will be seen as a legal resident.
