Coverage for all 48 pathways

This page groups all 48 pathways by the best help available for that pathway today: checklist path candidate, planning guidance available, or orientation only. A checklist-path label does not mean every path, processing context, or interview post is supported, lawyer-reviewed, or exact.

48 pathways total

This guide is informational only and is not legal advice. Consult a qualified immigration attorney for advice specific to your case.

What do these labels mean?

These labels describe what Green Card Guide currently supports, not whether the government considers you eligible. Open a pathway page or the checklist support checker to see whether a combination is an exact checklist candidate, general source-backed checklist, official category shell, or unsupported. Freshness on live post-specific pages is checked separately against the linked official source.

Still figuring out which pathway fits your case?

Coverage explains support boundaries. If you still need to identify the route or process first, go to pathway families or process guides, or decode product language in the glossary, before using checklist support.
