Inadmissible covers those who fail to meet entry requirements or have disqualifying factors, deportable refers to someone already in the U.S. who can be removed for violations, and exemption isn’t the standard term used for general entry eligibility. Staying within the permitted period also avoids overstay issues that could affect future entries.
