According to the law, it's not possible. It's only people with at least one US citizen parent, or a parent with a green card, or a sibling who is a citizen, that are eligible to apply for green cards.

"Green Card Through Family
Many people get Green Cards (become permanent residents) through family members. You may be eligible to get a Green Card as:

an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, this includes spouses, unmarried children under the age of 21, and parents of U.S. citizen petitioners 21 or older
a family member of a U.S. citizen fitting into a preference category, this includes unmarried sons or daughters over the age of 21, married children of any age, and brothers and sisters of U.S. citizen petitioners 21 or older
a family member of a green card holder, this includes spouses and unmarried children of the sponsoring green card holder
a member of a special category, this can include battered spouse or child (VAWA), a K nonimmigrant, a person born to a foreign diplomat in the United States, a V nonimmigrant or a widow(er) of a U.S. Citizen"

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-family

Short answer is NO, there is no direct family relationship.

Long answer is YES, but you may already become a senior citizen by then

Your Aunt can file for your Dad. Not sure what the waiting period is for now. Then your Dad can file for you. There are significant waiting periods.

Benefits?

Well, an immigrant visa will entitle you to work and live in the United States. Some considerations. You have to live in USA more than outside and you'll get to pay taxes in the USA and also on income earned from Nigeria/overseas.

I am not an immigration attorney but I have direct hands on experiecne in both non-immigrant and immigrant visas.

Good luck.

wow wow!!! thanks so much.

na wa for visa application ooo.. but pls permit me to ask... what if my uncle or aunty decided file for me as an immediate brother and not as a nephew base on uncle and Aunty stuff?

the reason I said this is that there are lot of people (more than 10) living in the US who we're blood related bearing this same surname. though we talk once in a while through chat but I've never made mention of my interest of coming to the US someday base on the fact that am yet to finish school here, and I don't know how many of them has been granted American citizenship but am very sure of 2 or 3 of them.

so can anyone of them file for me as an immediate family I.e younger brother?

Yah all will be committing immigration fraud.

Potential penalties, lifetime ban to the USA (one can reasoanbly include Australia, UK, Canada and all other countries that share data with the US on immigration). The USA relatives may face loss of their US citizenship as well as jail term.

Do the things the legit way, all the time.

I think Oyinbo that can go to moon, has built house in space, has rovers on another planet, and have spacecraft's that has left our solar system can figure out the simple Nigerian lies. They are not stupid.

America is a computerized society. Every single statement, form that applicants (your relatives in the US) has been archived in files by immigration and state department and can be used to process new forms. My Wife recently went for her citizenship interview and she was asked questions based on forms she filed out 4 years back in Nigeria.

PS: Not sure most are aware but state department employees are present on this forum answering questions and can read all these schemes that are proposed here.

You hit the nail on the head. The possibility of a life time immigration is real.

But it depends upon the answers that his aunt gave in her previous immigration forms. If she listed him as a brother, or didn't answer any question with regard to siblings, then I can see a way she could file for him.

If the Aunt listed him as a Brother we won't be here now

USEL routinely does DNA tests too

Well, genetic testing would be considered if the aunt looks way older than him. And that's a big possibility
But as the link says, DNA testing is quite expensive, so if the aunt presents convincing documentation that shows he is her brother, then the path could be clear for the application to proceed.

I can see you know alot concerning the US immigration stuff.. but do you think my relatives over there could be of any help for me whenever am ready?.. I'm looking forward to going there to stay and work ... probably becoming a permanent residence.

I'm asking all these just to avoid mistakes and anything illegal.. I'm not ready to implicate anybody

thanks in advance CFCman EgunMogaji

Student visa.

They can pay for your school fees and you can emigrate legally.

From there things can work themselves out. Maybe you'll fall in love with a USC, maybe you'll find the cure for cancer or HIV (Trump will personally come and officiate at your swearing in oath as a citizen)

For direct working visa, it's near impossible, but please don't let me discourage you.

"To qualify for permanent resident status due to family ties you must be directly related to a US citizen or green-card holder. That means that you are the spouse, child, parent, or sibling of a US citizen. That US citizen can petition for you to get a visa, but approval is not guaranteed and certain relationships are given higher preference.[3]

To qualify for permanent resident status due to employment you must secure employment from a US company. The first step is to have them request labor certification approval from the Department of Labor. This process can be long and costly, so a company must have a strong desire to hire you if they agree to go through the whole undertaking. These visas are given out to encourage highly skilled people to come to the US. [4]

To qualify for permanent resident status due to status as a refugee you must have a "well-founded fear of persecution" based on a variety of social statuses, such as ethnic or religious affiliation, that restricts your ability to return to your country of origin. For specific details about applying for permanent residency due to your status as a refugee, go to http://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL31269.pdf.

To qualify for permanent resident status through the Diversity Visa Lottery Program, known commonly as the green card lottery, you have to be immigrating from a country with a low rate of immigration to the US. If less than 50,000 people from your home country have immigrated to the US in the past 5 years, then you may be eligible to submit an application. For more information on this program go to http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/other-ways-get-green-card/green-card-through-diversity-immigration-visa-program/green-card-through-diversity-immigrant-visa-program."

No more DV in Nigeria for now.

As we said earlier, your best bet is the H1-B visa. But you would have to have a special skill that many Americans do not possess i.e. software/hardware engineering, coding etc.
The company that would file a petition for your H1-B application would need to show to the Department of Labor that they couldn't find a qualified US citizen for the job opening.

The asylum route is tricky because you would have to provide clear and convincing evidence that you are fearful of future persecution in Nigeria based on your religious beliefs, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or membership of a political/social group.

If you go thru the F-1/J visa route, you'd only need to stay in the US for a year before being eligible to apply for Permanent Residency
