Obtaining Residency with a U.S. Visa

A U.S. visa is a document issued by the U.S. government that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States for specific purposes such as tourism, business, work, study, or immigration. There are various types of visas, each suited to specific needs and circumstances of the traveler.

Some types of U.S. visas can potentially lead to permanent residency in the U.S. These visas include:

 

• Employment-Based Immigrant Visas (EB Visas)

Some employment-based immigrant visas, such as EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3, can lead to permanent residency in the United States. These visas are designed for individuals with extraordinary abilities, advanced degrees, or skilled workers, respectively. Obtaining one of these visas and meeting the necessary conditions may make individuals eligible to apply for lawful permanent residency (green card).

 

• Investment Immigrant Visas (EB-5)

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program allows foreign investors to obtain U.S. permanent residency by making a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs for U.S. workers. Successful applicants and their close family members are initially granted temporary green cards, which can later be converted to permanent residency.

 

 

• Family-Based Immigrant Visas

Certain family-based immigrant visas, such as Immediate Relative Visas (for spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 years of U.S. citizens) and Preference Family Visas (for more distant relatives), can lead to U.S. residency. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can petition for eligible family members to immigrate.

 

• U.S. Lottery 

The U.S. Lottery program offers a limited number of visas through a random selection process each year. Eligible individuals from countries with lower immigration rates to the United States can apply for the lottery, and if selected, can achieve permanent residency in the USA.

 

U.S. Residency Through Work

The USA is regarded as one of the main destinations for work and obtaining work visas due to a favorable unemployment rate, advanced industries, and a broad job market. Working in the USA has been considered one of the easiest and best types of methods for obtaining U.S. residency.

U.S. Work Visas are generally categorized into several types, including H, J, E, and P visas, and we will briefly discuss the various work visa types below.

 

• H1 Visa

This visa is known as the specialty occupation visa for individuals with a bachelor’s degree or highly skilled individuals with valid work experience.

 

• H1-B Visa

This visa is issued for a duration of 3 years, similar to the H1 visa, and can be converted to a green card.

 

 

• EB3 Visa

This visa is divided into two categories:

• Skilled Worker Visa or Specialist Workers Without a University Degree
• A visa for unskilled workers who can apply for ordinary jobs such as gardening and house cleaning and receive a green card without the need for a university degree, language certificate, or expertise.

 

• J1 Visa

This visa is for work-related research and educational purposes issued by scientific research companies with an ability to be renewed for 7 years and allows work after the training period.

 

• P Visa

The P visa includes P1, P2, and P3 for artists and sports migration to the USA, and P4 for the family members of artists and athletes.

Visa Types	Requirements
H1 Visa	For individuals with a bachelor’s degree or skilled professionals with valid work experience.
H1-B Visa	Similar to H1 visa, valid for three years with the possibility of converting to a Green Card.
EB3 Visa	For skilled workers without a university degree and unskilled workers, with the possibility of obtaining a Green Card.

U.S. student visas are known by the names F1, B1, M1, and J1.

• F1: One of the most well-known U.S. student visas, the F1 visa allows entry into U.S. universities and colleges. If the student is married or has a child under 21 years old, they can also apply for an F2 visa, which is the accompanying visa in the USA.
• B1: This visa applies to 6-month study programs, and thus the accompanying student cannot apply for an accompanying visa.
• M1: This visa differs from other student visas in that it can be issued for technical and vocational fields. The applicant can apply for accompanying visas for their spouse and children under 21 years old.
• J1: This visa is known as the study opportunity visa and is designed for students who migrate to the USA for research or teaching. The validity period of the visa depends on the duration of the study opportunity, but typically, students must leave the USA two years after receiving it and apply for a new visa to re-enter. For this visa, a J1 accompanying visa can be applied for.

U.S. Residency Through Investment

One way to obtain residency is investment in the USA. U.S. residency through property purchase, branch registration, and other investments is categorized, which we will explain below.

 

• EB5 Visa

The EB-5 visa offers U.S. residency through investment, with two options: $900,000 in targeted areas or $1.8 million elsewhere. Applicants must create at least 10 U.S. jobs. While this visa leads to a green card, it has been linked to fraud—some applicants lose money to fake agents or risky investments. To avoid such risks, Malekpour Institute provides secure, verified investment guidance.

Type of Investment	Investment Amount	Investment Condition	Green Card
Investment-based Green Card	$800,000 and $1,050,000	Employing 10 American workers	Obtainable

 

 

• E2 Visa

The E2 visa or residency in the USA with low investment is possible with a minimum investment of $120,000 to $180,000. Applicants for this type of visa can buy a business or start a business, which can lead them to obtain a 5-year residency in the USA. This path does not lead to obtaining a U.S. green card.

Visa Type	Minimum Investment	Residency Duration	Green Card Eligibility
E2 Visa	$120,000 to $180,000	5 years	Not eligible

• U.S. Residency with Less Than $900,000

Obtaining U.S. residency with less than $900,000 is also possible. To do this, you need to show that you trade with a company or organization in the USA. The residency you can obtain through this route is for 5 years and can be extended as long as you continue trading with the specified company.

Immigration Conditions with Less Than $900,000	Details
Investment Amount	Up to $900,000
Requirement	Proof of trade exchange with a company in the USA
Residency Duration	5 years, renewable

U.S. Residency by Registering a Company Branch

You can obtain residency by registering a company branch in the USA. Conditions for obtaining residency in the USA through this way require that you have a business in your home country for a minimum of one year. You must also have employees.

Initially, applicants will be granted a one-year residency, and upon approval of the work completed, they can receive a 3-year residency and thereafter a 7-year residency.

Conditions for Registering a Branch Office	Details
Requirement	Owning a business that has been active for at least one year, hiring employees
Residency Duration	Initially 1 year, then 3 years, and 7 years

U.S. Residency Through Property Purchase

Those seeking to obtain U.S. residency through property purchase should know that by buying property in the USA, they will not receive residency. The USA does not grant residency to foreign investors through property purchases, and property buyers can initially enter the USA through other means, such as a tourist visa, and then purchase their desired property.

 

 

U.S. Residency and Obtaining Citizenship Through Birth

One common way to gain U.S. citizenship is through birth in the USA, as the country follows the birthright citizenship system. This means any child born on U.S. soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen and US passport, even if the parents are not residents.

If a parent is American, the child may also acquire citizenship by descent. However, parents do not receive residency rights through the birth of a child in the U.S. This system reflects the country’s immigrant-friendly policies and attracts many seeking a secure future for their children.

Birthright Citizenship System	Based on soil (jus soli)
Conditions for Birthright Citizenship	If the child is born on U.S. soil or has American parents
Citizenship for Parents through Birth	A child born in the U.S. does not grant any citizenship rights to the parents

 

U.S. Residency Through Family Visa

Immigration through family visa has two situations:

 

Immediate and Unlimited Relatives (IR)

This visa has no limitations and can be applied to immediate family members. This type of visa is divided into several categories:

• Family Visa IR-1: Spouse of a U.S. citizen if at least two years have passed since the marriage registration.
• Family Visa IR-2: Children under 21 years old who are unmarried.
• Family Visa IR-3: A child adopted by a U.S. resident couple from outside the United States.
• Family Visa IR-4: A child adopted by a U.S. resident couple from within the United States.
• Family Visa IR-5: Parents of a U.S. citizen who is over 21 years old.

 

 

Priority and Limited (F)

This visa is specific to relatives with a distant relationship with a green card holder. This visa is also divided into four categories:

• Family Visa F1: Children of a U.S. citizen who are unmarried. There is a limit of 23,400 visas per fiscal year.
• Family Visa F2: Granted to the spouse and children under 21 years old of a green card holder, as well as unmarried children over 21 years old. This visa has a limit of 114,200 visas per fiscal year.
• Family Visa F3: This group is the third priority and is for married children of green card holders. The limit for this visa is 23,400 visas per fiscal year.
• Family Visa F4: This visa is for brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens, provided the applicants are 21 years or older. The limit for this visa is 65,000 visas per fiscal year.

 

U.S. Residency Through Marriage

Marriage in the USA to an American citizen is divided into two types: K1 fiancé visa and marriage visa. If the applicant wishes to sponsor their spouse or partner, they must meet the required conditions, which include the following:

 

• K1 Fiancé Visas

The K1 fiancé visa is a non-immigrant, temporary visa that can be converted into a marriage visa. Both parties must be at least 21 years old and preferably share the same religion, and within 90 days after entering the USA, their relationship must lead to marriage. Both parties must have previously met. The processing time for this visa takes 3 to 15 months.

 

• Marriage Visa in the USA

The U.S. marriage visa is for couples who have known each other for at least one year and have met in person at least once. The process takes 1 to 4 years and requires proof of a genuine relationship, financial ability, ID documents, and evidence of single status or a marriage certificate if applicable. Though the visa process is lengthy, it remains a popular path for joining a spouse or fiancé in the USA.

Visa Type	Fiancé(e) Visa (K1)	Marriage Visa
Conditions	Non-immigrant, temporary, age over 21, preferably same religion, must marry within 90 days of entering the USA.	At least one year of acquaintance, mutual love and commitment proven, must have met in person before.
Processing Time	3 to 15 months	1 to 4 years
Required Documents	Identification documents, proof of financial support, proof of residence by the U.S. partner, marriage certificate (if any), proof of single status.	Completed DS-260 form, passport, medical exams and vaccinations, identity documents.

 

U.S. Residency Through Asylum

An asylum seeker is someone who flees their country due to threats like persecution, torture, or death for political, religious, racial, or cultural reasons. If accepted, the host country must provide basic needs under international law. However, asylum is a risky and lengthy process with no guarantee of return, so it’s highly recommended to pursue legal immigration methods such as work or study visas instead.

The steps for asylum in the USA or illegal immigration to the USA are as follows:

• After declaring asylum, the asylum seeker receives a document called a pass and his documents are reviewed.
• He temporarily settles in a camp or rented houses for immigrants and receives a document called a blue passport.
• After the asylum case is accepted, he receives a white passport and can live freely in the United States.
• The asylum seeker is not allowed to work for 3 years and living expenses will be covered by the government. He also cannot leave the United States for 5 years.

 

Conditions for U.S. Residency Through the Lottery

The U.S. Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery is an easy and low-cost way to immigrate to the USA. It opens in October and closes in early November each year. Applicants need a high school diploma and 2 years of work experience. Spouses and unmarried children under 21 can be included.

Results are announced six months later, and winners must carefully complete the DS-260 form to proceed—mistakes can be costly. If not selected, you can reapply in future years.

 

 

 

U.S. Residency for Artists and Highly Successful Individuals

One way to obtain residency in the USA is to receive an artist visa in the USA. This visa is granted to elite individuals in the arts and sports fields who are internationally recognized and have a certain rank and status globally. This visa falls under the P work visa category and is subdivided into P1, P2, P3, and P4 categories.

 

• U.S. Residency with P1 Visa

This visa is for artists who temporarily travel to the USA, primarily used for group performances along with other artistic personnel. This visa is available for internationally recognized art and entertainment groups and all its members. The maximum duration for this visa is one year and it is extendable.

 

• U.S. Residency with P2 Visa

This visa is also for individuals temporarily coming to the USA; however, it can be either individual or group-based. If group-based, other program personnel will also be covered under this visa. Artists covered by this visa must be distinguished and comparable to American artists. The maximum duration of this visa is one year and can be renewed.

 

 

• U.S. Residency with P3 Visa

This visa is for artists who temporarily come to the USA for performances, training, or coaching. This visa also includes support personnel. The maximum duration of this visa is one year with the ability to extend.

 

• U.S. Residency with P4 Visa

This visa is not directly granted to individual artists but is specific to children under 21 years and spouses of individuals covered by P1, P2, and P3.

 

Steps to Obtain U.S. Residency

Obtaining permanent residency in the United States, often referred to as a “green card,” is a multi-step process that can vary based on individual circumstances and the chosen path.

1. Petition Filing:

Choose the right immigration path and file a petition, usually by a sponsor such as a family member or employer.

• Form I-130: For family-based petitions
• Form I-140: For employment-based petitions

 

2. Application Processing and Visa Issuance:

After petition approval, your application is processed, including:

• Document review for accuracy
• Medical examination
• Interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate
• If already in the U.S., you can apply through the Adjustment of Status process.

 

3. Receiving the Green Card:

Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a green card granting permanent residency and the right to work in the U.S.

 

4. Path to U.S. Citizenship:

Green card holders may apply for citizenship after:

• 5 years of permanent residence (general rule)
• 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen and living together

 

The citizenship process includes filing Form N-400, an interview, and a citizenship test.

Is It Better to Obtain U.S. Residency or Canadian Residency?

While both the US and Canada offer study, work, and investment immigration paths, Canada is often more affordable and accessible. Study costs in Canada are lower, and its Express Entry system makes obtaining permanent residency through work easier.

Canada also offers diverse provincial programs for settlement. In contrast, the US has more complex investment and immigration processes but offers top-tier universities and modern living conditions. For investors, Canada provides startup and entrepreneurship options, while the US typically requires higher capital.
