Common pathways include employment-based Green Cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3), family sponsorship (marriage or relatives), or winning the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery. After holding a Green Card for 5 years, you can apply for US citizenship.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1755931244373\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q 2: Can I settle in the USA without a job?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans:<\/strong> Yes, but it\u2019s tricky. Family-based Green Cards, investment-based visas (EB-5), or the Diversity Visa Lottery allow you to settle without a job.

For students, F-1, OPT,\u00a0 H-1B, and Green Card is common. Family sponsorship or the DV Lottery are also options if you qualify.

For students, first-year expenses (tuition &amp; living) can range from USD 30,000 to 70,000 depending on the city. For other immigrants, legal fees, relocation, and living expenses can be USD 10,000\u201350,000 or more.
