I grew up in the USA and live in Australia. I think of and refer to myself as both 'expat' and 'immigrant'.
Which word I use depends on context. I'm an American expat (context: my relationship with USA), but I'm an immigrant in Australia (context: my relationship with Australia).
I guess I'm really just using "expat" to mean "emigrant". ¯_(ツ)_/¯
