By this can we assume that you're thinking that this 'close relative' will be able to sponsor you for a green card?
If so then you need to be aware that unless your immediately related. As per the
USCIS "Immigration through a Family Member" the sponsor (if a US Citizen) can sponsor only the following:
- Husband or wife
- Unmarried child under 21 years of age
- Unmarried son or daughter over 21
- Married son or daughter of any age
- Brother or sister, if the sponsor is at least 21 years old, or
- Parent, if the sponsor is at least 21 years old.
A lawful resident can only sponsor either
- Husband or wife, or
- Unmarried son or daughter of any age.
