cost of sponsoring parents

[sandeepM]

Hi Can anyone tell me how much would be the total cost if I want to sponsor my parent/s for a green card
thanks

Are you planning on using an attorney? If so, depends on his/her fee. For application fee and such expenses look at

Is there any advantage going the attorney route ( other than paperwork advantage)?
I would have thought sponsoring parents would be a pretty straightforward affair , ( as opposed to doing an employment based green card)

also in the fee schedule, I see a I-765, what is that?
