Can I apply for permanent residence in the U.S. with a student visa?

No, it is not possible to apply for permanent residence in the U.S. with a student visa. The U.S. immigration laws do not allow students to pursue a green card while attending school in the U.S. In Oregon, student visas are issued to individuals who are currently enrolled in a college or university in the state. A student visa does not provide any legal status beyond that of a student. The only way to apply for permanent residence is through a process called Adjustment of Status. In order to adjust status, you need to have proof that you are eligible to be a permanent resident. This can be shown by having a family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, a job offer from an employer in the U.S., or proof that you are eligible for another form of immigration relief. Once you have the necessary documentation, you can then file an Adjustment of Status application with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If your adjustment of status application is approved, you will be granted permanent residency and will be able to live and work in the U.S. legally. It is important to note that if your application is denied, you may face deportation from the U.S., so it is important to ensure you have all the necessary documents before applying.

No, una visa de estudiante no significa que pueda aplicar para la residencia permanente en los Estados Unidos. Si eres un estudiante de Oregon que viene de otro país, necesitas una visa de no-inmigrante válida para asistir a una institución de enseñanza superior (universidad o colegio) en Oregon. Las visas de no-inmigrante son válidas por un periodo determinado de tiempo, generalmente en relación con tu programa de estudios. Una vez que hayas terminado tu programa de estudios de educación superior, debes salir del país inmediatamente o necesitas solicitar una visa de trabajo o una extensión de tu visa de no-inmigrante para poder permanecer en Estados Unidos. Una vez que hayas completado tu programa de forma exitosa, puedes intentar solicitar una visa de trabajo o un permiso de inmigrante en el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos. Si la petición es aprobada, entonces podrías ser elegible para aplicar a la residencia permanente en los Estados Unidos.
