Can GC holder file for parents?

[Jagjivanram]

I just got my Green Card. Can I file for my parents (who live in India) under the family quota or must I be a US citizen to be able to do that?

No Title

You have to be a citizen in order to sponsor either parent for a green card.

This is the answer I got .........
Who is Eligible to Sponsor a Parent?
If you are a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old, you are eligible to petition to bring your parents to live and work permanently in the United States.

If you are a lawful permanent resident, you are not eligible to petition to bring your parents to live and work permanently in the United States.

Thanks,
Veera.
