Regrettably, there is no visa category by which a U.S. citizen may sponsor a nephew or niece to attain immigration benefits. If your nephew is under age 16 it may be possible for you to legally adopt him and then sponsor him for immigration benefits, otherwise your nephew would need to explore other family relationships or employment opportunities to find a way to become eligible for an immigration application.
