Best Answer

Yes. According to alllaw.com, it is possible, but difficult, and can only happen under very specific circumstances:

  • The person would have to be a child.
  • The child would have to live with you, in your legal custody, for two years before you file the visa petition.
  • You would most likely have to be a U.S. citizen.

The process is complicated and will probably require an Immigration attorney.
