Lawful permanent residency allows you to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. Typically LPR at the Institute is gained through one of three different levels of employment-based preferences: EB-1/Aliens of extraordinary ability, EB-2/Members of professions holding advanced degrees, and EB-3/Professionals and skilled workers. The Immigration and Nationality Act has limited the total number of employment-based immigrants to 140,000 per fiscal year.
You can find more information on permanent residency at the following websites:

Monterey Institute might be able to provide sponsorship for faculty or researchers, but we do not file LPR petitions. We can however, provide a list of immigration attorneys who could help you through the process.
