How do most immigrants gain their legal status? What are the major categories of legal admission into the United States?

What will be an ideal response?


Most immigrants gain their legal status through family ties. These immigrants are parents, children, siblings or other qualified relatives of U.S. residents (i.e., married to a U.S. citizen). A smaller percentage of immigrants, mostly sponsored by their employers, gain their legal status based on employment-based preferences. Refugees, “diversity immigrants,” and others account for the remaining percentage of legal immigrants in the United States.
