There are two primary ways in which you
can obtain U.S. permanent residence. These are family-based sponsorships
and employment-based sponsorship. Other methods include the U.S.
"Green Card" lottery (diversity based petition), asylum,
and abused spouse petitions. You may click on the tabs at the
bottom of this page for information more specific to your category.
It is the general policy of the United
States to deny permanent residence to anyone who entered the U.S.
illegally. There are exceptions for people who qualify for the
last amnesty (April 30, 2001), or abused spouses who have resided
with an abusive U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse here
in the U.S. Alternatively, the foreign national may qualify to
receive permanent residence at the U.S. Consulate in his home
country if the U.S. citizen sponsor can convince the government
to grant a waiver.

residence petitions. Please call us at toll-free at 919-788-9225 to speak with an attorney about your case.
