Yes, it is possible to apply for a green card through a different eligibility category while your asylum case is pending. For example, if you marry a U.S. citizen or obtain an employer sponsor for an eligible visa category, you may pursue a green card under that category despite having a pending asylum application.

Having a pending asylum case does not automatically prevent you from applying for a green card through another eligible category, like marriage or an employment-based petition. However, you must still meet all legal requirements for that category.
