How To Get Permanent Residency
The process of securing permanent residency, or a green card, in the United States can take many forms. Our experienced immigration attorneys can help you determine the most suitable pathway based on your unique circumstances. Some of the most common routes to permanent residency include:
Family-Based Permanent Residency
If you have a close family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible to obtain a green card through family sponsorship. This includes spouses, parents, children, and in some cases, siblings.
Employment-Based Permanent Residency
Foreign nationals may be able to obtain permanent residency through an employment-based visa. This typically involves a U.S. employer sponsoring the applicant and demonstrating that the individual has the necessary skills and qualifications to fill a specific role. Common employment-based paths include EB-5 immigrant investor visas, EB-2 visas for individuals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, and EB-3 visas for skilled or unskilled workers.
Humanitarian-Based Permanent Residency
Individuals who have been granted asylum, refugee status, or temporary protected status in the U.S. may be eligible to apply for permanent residency. This includes those fleeing persecution, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions in their home countries.
Diversity Immigrant Visa Program
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as the “green card lottery,” provides a limited number of green cards to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. Applicants must meet specific educational or work experience requirements to be eligible.
