Sponsoring parents

[galapagos]

hey guys, got a quick question, whats the best way to bring parents to the US after becoming a US citizen through marriage? Can a person apply to sponsor parents right away after getting naturalized? Should parents wait in their home country? What documents usually needed to be filed and what's the average wait time? Please share your personal experience as well

Start by reading http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Resources/A1en.pdf. Then check USCIS website links for green card through a family member of US citizen. Wait times depend on several things, including the country where visa will be applied.
