How to get a green card?

hi, if you have a tourest visa, can you get a green card? and how to get it?

Misis ni KC

No, you cannot get a green card if you have a tourist visa.If you have an immigrant visa like work based or family based petition visas that's when you can apply for green card.As the word itself implies, tourist visa is simply for a pleasure visit and you don't intend live or work here.

No not possible.

It takes at least 6 years to get an employment based green card. Your tourist visa will run out long before that.

No. You need a sponsor who has to file petition for you.
