What exactly is the Chevron definition of Expat? I am confused, is it merely a person working outside of their country of citizenship? Or is it a person working outside of their country of citizenship and reaping the fringe benefits that it brings, like housing and education allowance. Is a person, working is the US and is not a citizen, but not being paid 'benefits' considered an expat?

In the Chevron world, you are an expat when your home payroll is different than your current work location. Therefore, if you are a US Citizen, but hired in the UK and then sent to work in US, you are an "expat", receiving your regular pay, in your home country, plus all the expat benefits that are given to UK payroll employees. Conversely, you can be from the UK, but hired and currently working in the US; you are not a "expat". It comes down to where you were hired, not your country of origin. BTW, there are US Citizens, working in Houston who are "Expats"

Expat - Short for Expatriot (a person of another country).
If the company is sponsoring your H1 visa, you are in scope. Grab your ankles Rajiv.
