There are several pathways to obtaining a Green Card, including through family sponsorship, employment, refugee or asylum status, and special programs. The process generally involves:
Establishing eligibility through an immigrant visa petition (filed by a family member, employer, or the applicant themselves in certain cases). Applying for a Green Card through Adjustment of Status (if residing in the U.S.) or Consular Processing (if residing outside the U.S.). Attending an interview and completing biometric screenings. Approval and issuance of the Green Card.
