    Default Re: Green Card Sponsorship from My Far Relative

    Since you are married, you can only be sponsored by a US citizen parent or sibling for a "family reunification" green card.

    Your most likely path is via employment.

    Look at the USCIS website for the rules governing the various programs.

    There are two different concepts here. First is the basis for the residency. A non-immediate relative is a non-starter here. The other is who is willing to put forth the affidavit of support. The well-to-do but distant relative can do that.
