It's an undeniable fact that most of the students pursuing an education in America will have a dream to settle and work here holding a Green card. But it’s very unfortunate that this dream is very difficult and could make them tiresome. The legal system of America has several rules and restrictions for the immigrant student to obtain legal status to work like a US citizen. There are several ways to obtain a Green card legal status by students. Let us examine each and every way in brief.

Job Sponsorship

The hardest and best way to get a Green card is earning a job Sponsorship. It involves lots of hurdles such as finding the US employer who is willing to hire you and then complete several other Green card sponsorship formalities. The hardest part is that the employer is responsible to give correct information to the government on why they are hiring a foreigner over a US citizen. And, the employer also needs to convince the authority on unavailability of similar talented in American. Most employers would not be willing to go through this tiresome process. Thus, before you attempt to find Green Card Job Sponsorship Providers, make sure you  are exceptionally talented and employable.

Political Asylum

In case you are a refugee or someone who escaped from home country to protect yourself from war or terrorism striking your country, you can apply for a Political Asylum. With the help of this system, you can consult an immigration attorney to apply for Political Asylum and earn Green card after many verifications and formalities.

Marrying a US Citizen

This remained one of the easiest ways to obtain Green Card. Finding the life-mate in America and marrying them legally. But, there are complications in this method too. You cannot marry an American just for obtaining Green Card. The immigration official will inspect the cohabitation, mutual understanding and love between you before approving the Green Card process. In a case of any dissatisfaction, the immigration official will annul the marriage and deport you to your hometown. There is one more complication in this process, where your marriage should be legally informed to the parents of your spouse. Once you’ve successfully crossed all the hurdles, you will obtain a temporary Green Card which is valid for two years. After two years of a successful marriage life, you can obtain a permanent Green Card easily.

Green Card Lottery

This is just a luck game which is worth the try if every other option failed to secure you a Green Card. In this, you will be applying for playing an Electronic Diversity Visa lottery which will provide you a Greed Card after winning the game.

Military Service

Another complicated way to obtain Green Card is getting enlisted in US military. But, the military will not allow anyone who doesn’t have a Green Card or any work authorization to be enlisted in military Service. Thus, if youare a student pursuing your education in the fields like military, nurses, doctors who are in demand in the military, you can use your Optimal Practical Training (OPT) to get work authorization to serve for the military.
