There are many ways to establish permanent residency, the most common being through a permanent residence visa "Green Card". This process is very competitive and only a limited number of permanent residence visas are provided every year. There are other methods of establishing residency, such as through an application for asylum or sponsorship by a permanent resident or U.S. citizen relative.
