A citizen is a legally recognized member of a country with specific rights and responsibilities, such as the right to vote and the obligation to pay taxes. An alien is a person who is not a citizen of the country they are residing in, and may have restrictions on their rights and activities based on their Immigration status.

What is the difference between a visa number and alien number?

There is not much difference and there is a LOT of difference! A visa number is assigned to a person entering the USA. It later can become his/her Resident Alien number if alien status is granted. An alien number (usually from your visa number) is assigned to you when you have been granted legal Resident Alien status.
