Yes, international students pursuing their higher studies from an US-based institution can go on to attain permanent residency (PR), also called a green card, in the United States.
To obtain a green card, students studying on an F1 visa (student visa), have to apply for an OPT or STEM OPT Extension followed by an H1B visa (post-study employment visa), for which they must attain a job offer from a recognised organisation in the United States.
H-1 B Visa holders are then eligible to apply for the Green Card.
Check out: F1 Student Visa to USA Green Card, for a more detailed description of the same.
