Sponsoring my parents

OK. So my first question:

- is it possible and worth (what kind of risk?) to sponsor one of my parents which is already in US 10 years after visa expired. Second is still abroad and never passed visa expiration date. Thanks

Thanks for answering. But is there any risk to fill out papers for somebody who is in US illegally 10 years? Or is better to get an immigration attorney in that case?
 
no because relatives of US CITIZENS ARE FORGIVEN UNLAWFUL STAY so you can go ahead and start the process now
 
your parent that is in the US should be able to adjust status but should not leave for any reason until green card in hand, otherwise they will be barred from the US for 10 years. they should not apply for advance parole as they will not be able to travel anyway.

If the overstay is the only problem then you should be able to do the forms without an attorney, as Parents of US citizens are forgiven for overstay when applying for green card. If you search this forum there is a LOT of information and advice about the process.
