People from foreign countries may come to the U.S. for a variety of reasons. In some cases, they may be visiting the country temporarily after receiving visitor visas or student visas, or they may intend to stay on a longer-term basis while working for an employer. After spending time in the United States, people will often wish to establish permanent residence, and this may allow them to be close to their family members and pursue employment or educational opportunities. Those who are currently residing in the U.S. may be able to apply for an adjustment of status, which will allow them to become lawful permanent residents and receive green cards.
