Unfortunately a godson relationship is not one which permits a family petition but there may be other visa options from which he could benefit but there is no way of knowing without a detailed consultation on his skills, education, work experience, etc.

You cannot petition for your godson to receive lawful permanent status. U.S. immigration law only allows certain family members and employers to petition for immigration benefits. Your godson may be eligible for some other non-immigrant visa such as a student visa if he studying or a non-immigrant employment based visa, but we would need additional information to assess the matter.
