I-130 or I-485

[coaster]

Hi,

I am a naturalized citizen. Should I use I-130 or I-485 to petion for my parents to live in the U.S.

Could somebody kindly outline the procedures of application, and how long it normally take etc...?

It normally takes 6-12 months.

For more details, ask in the Family Based Green Cards section.

You should file I-130 and I-485 at the same time.

You should file I-130 and I-485 at the same time.

That's only if the parents are already in the US and didn't arrive very recently with a B1/B2 visa.

But as I said before, this is a question for the Family Based Green Card section.
