Citizenship and sponsorship 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to know if I become a citizen, would it be easier for me to sponsor my parents visa? They are currently in India. They are in the late 65 and 70 as of today. Their visa has been rejected at least thrice in the past but they applied for their visa on their own. I did not sponsor them nor did anybody else at that time.
If I sponsor them as a citizen, will they have any interviews at the chennai consulate? I read on the INS website that once their petition form I-130 is approved by the embassy I will send have to send them the paper work and they have to go their local office. But I don't know why they should go to the local consulate? Is their visa going to be stamped there after they show their approved I-130 document? Will they be grilled again? Will they have to wait long to get an interview and also get an appointment to get an intererview?
