Many people want to travel for various reasons but have no idea how to go about it. For those who have the United States on their minds for relocation, below is a list of the top 10 ways for obtaining permanent residency in the United States.
1. Marriage-Based: Spouses of U.S. citizens or green card holders can apply, starting with Form I-130.
2. Fiancé(e)-Based: U.S. citizens can petition for foreign fiancés using Form I-129F; after entering the U.S. on a K-1 visa and marrying, the spouse can adjust status.
3. Parent-Based: U.S. citizens aged 21 or older can sponsor their parents.
4. Child-Based: Both citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their children, though eligibility varies by age and marital status.
5. Sibling-based: U.S. citizens aged 21 or older can petition for their siblings.
6. Self-petitioned EB-1A: People with extraordinary abilities in fields like science, arts, or business can self-petition.
7. Employer-Sponsored EB-1B & EB-1C: For outstanding professors, researchers, and multinational executives/managers.
8. EB-2/EB-3: Requires an advanced degree or specific skills, sponsored by a U.S. employer.
9. National Interest Waiver (EB-2 NIW): For professionals whose work benefits U.S. interests, with certain qualifications.
10. EB-5 Investor: Requires a significant investment (minimum $800,000) and creation of U.S. jobs.
Each option requires specific forms and eligibility criteria, and consulting with an immigration attorney is advisable for guidance based on personal circumstances.
