Permanent Residents
  All States      
How may an alien become a legal permanent resident of the united states?

Those seeking to immigrate to the United States must fall within strict, limited categories. Other than winning the diversity lottery, an applicant must fit within one of three distinct categories: Family-based immigrants, employment-based immigrants, and asylum seekers and refugees. There are no legal immigration categories for friends, cousins, aunts or uncles or grandparents.
