Is there any way/chance to petition my nephew to US? I’m a naturalized citizen-my nephew is now 16 years old living with my old mom in the Philippines

US immigration laws only have a number of categories for family-based cases, and they do not encompass a 16-year-old nephew. If you believe that he is a promising student, perhaps you could attempt to sponsor him under an F-1 visa to study in the States. The decision whether to issue him the visa would be in the discretion of the American consulate or embassy officer who interviews him.
