Paths to a Green Card:
- Family-Based: Through a close relative who is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
- Employment-Based: Through an offer of permanent employment in the U.S.
- Refugee or Asylum Status: For individuals granted refugee or asylum status in the U.S.
- Victims of Abuse or Crime: Special provisions for victims of domestic violence or certain crimes.

Maintaining Your Green Card:
Once you have a Green Card, it's important to understand your responsibilities and how to maintain your permanent resident status. This includes not abandoning your U.S. residency, filing taxes, and notifying USCIS of address changes.
If your Green Card is lost, stolen, or expired, you may need to file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.
