A "foreign national" is any person who is not a US Citizen:

"The United States Department of State defines a “foreign national” as anyone who is not a “U.S. person.” A “U.S. person” is any one of the following: U.S. citizen; Lawful permanent resident (green card holder); and “Protected Person” i.e. political asylum holder." [0]

A foreign national is a person or organization who is not a citizen of the United States, and who is a citizen of a foreign country. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) uses the term "alien" to refer to a person who is not a United States citizen, and does not use the term "foreign national."[1]

    > Foreign national: A person without U.S. citizenship or nationality (may include a stateless person). This term is synonymous with “alien”

I owe allegiance to no state. I prefer to think of myself as a citizen of the world.

It's kind of a weird definition. I would guess most people's nationality is more an accident of birth than anything else.
