No, you are totally wrong. You should not comment on things that you have no understanding of. A non-resident alien is any person in the US who is not a citizen, green card holder, or passes the substantial presence test. There are millions of non-resident aliens on visas in the US.

Substantial presence test is applied by IRS only for tax residency. You can be on h1-b for 5 years, pass the SPT and classify as tax resident but still be non-resident alien in the eyes of DHS/USCIS/SSA.
