I was just curious as one of my indian friend got sponsored from his Maternal uncle(mama) for his greencard and got aproved (thats what  he says). Can anyone in USA in any other visa status(f1 or H1) be sponsored by their first blood relative like mama,kaka, fupu? If possible what is the process or if there is any link I can find out from please let me know. Thank you.

dhoti ko kura pani pathyauni ho ta? strickly no to you question .
afno immediate family members can only sponsor  once they become citizen

@yotabhayananison :: thank you for the link and help
@pokhrelikhanchi :: hehe kura pattyaako ta thiyina tara pani hoki justo lagihalyo ni , ke garnu man nai ta ho. Thank you though.

 it could be, if his mama had become a cititizen a long time ago and sponsored his sister and he was a minor.

Your Mama can sponser his sister/brother and u will get Greencard  w/ your mother if u r under 21  , that dhoti was right .

I think some indians call their mother as 'mama'. So may be it his/her mom who sponsored.
