Do other types of relationship like partnership also make someone eligible for Green Card or it's just for legal marriage
I am a F-1 student in the US and like to know which kind of relationships will makes someone eligible for Green Card?

1By "relationship", do you only mean family relationships? Or do employment relationships also count?– user102008Commented Dec 9, 2021 at 2:36

The only family relationships that can lead to a green card are:
- Spouse
- Son or daughter
- Parent
- Brother or sister
If the sponsor is a green card holder rather than a US citizen, then the relationships are further limited to
- Spouse
- Unmarried son or daughter

"Spouse" means "husband or wife"; civil partnerships are not included.
There are also green cards available for various employment relationships, but it seems that these are beyond the scope of your question.
