It's not a path in the most pedantic term, but if I were born in China or India, the usual path is
1. do masters in the US
2. work on OPT until I am fortunate enough to be picked in H1B lottery, or until my OPT runs out, whichever comes first
3. IF I get picked in H1B lottery, apply for PR
4. wait 4-8 years for my category to be current
5. eventually get PR
short of an investor visa, marrying someone who is a citizen, qualifying for EB1, or applying from abroad and waiting 10 years, how else do I get a green card?
