USCIS<\/strong> offers different Green Card Eligibility Categories<\/strong>. For your information, you cannot apply for a Permanent Resident Card<\/strong> unless you are eligible under one of the 8 different categories.<\/p>\n

The first possibility is to get a Green Card<\/strong> through family. So, you can apply for Permanent Residency<\/strong> if you are a spouse of a United States<\/strong> citizen, or the unmarried child under 21 years of age of a United States citizen, or the parent of a U.S. citizen (if the U.S. citizen is at least 21 years old). Other categories can be through family-based preference, fianc\u00e9(e), widow(er), among others.<\/p>\n

Green Card through employment<\/h2>\n

This is the best category for those who are immigrant workers<\/strong>, immigrant investors<\/strong>, or for physicians<\/strong> (physician national interest waiver). Therefore, there are many immigrants who may be eligible for it in the first or second option.<\/p>\n

Getting a Green Card<\/strong> through a special immigrant<\/strong> category is another possibility. For example, if you are a religious worker, a special immigrant juvenile, an international broadcaster or an employee of an international organization.<\/p>\n

A category many people have heard of is the one for refugees or asylum seekers. So, check if you qualify for Refugee or Asylee Status. If you are a victim in a foreign country, there are also 2 more categories.<\/p>\n

Green Cards through other categories<\/h2>\n

One of the most well-known categories in this section is the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program<\/strong>. People often know it as the Green Card Lottery<\/strong>. To be eligible under this category, you must have been selected for a diversity visa in the Department of State’s diversity visa lottery.<\/p>\n

Check this category at the USCIS official website because there are too many different categories that may allow Green Card<\/strong> applicants to get a Permanent Resident Card in the USA.<\/p>\n

The last option to get a Green Card<\/strong> is through registry. As a matter of fact, you may be eligible for it if you have lived continuously in the United states since before January 1, 1972.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
