Which category? Is it Employment Based Green Card or Family Based Green Card? If Employee based you need an employer, if family based you need existing US PR/citizen to sponsor. Also, if you are an extraordinary ability individual you can self sponsor.

Check the categories:

This is my opinion not legal advice.
