Has anyone brought their parents or one parent to America to live? If so did you have to have citizenship?

Thank you

yes, you have to be a US Citizen to petition your parents to immigrant to the USA.

I was reading the visa bulletin and it doesn't specify parents so what catagory do they fall into? I see the the earliest are for petitions filed in December 2004 and the oldest are for petitions filed in August 1986. Is that real? Has anyone been successful in bringing their parents and if so how long did it take?

Parents are immidiate relatives and do not have to wait for a visa number to become available. Once a USC files the I-130 for the parent it will take anything from 5 months to 1 year for the parent to get a visa to enter the USA.

The visa they will get is a IR-5 and the processing is the same as for a IR-1.

actually anybody that can be petitioned for via an I-130 are immediate relatives. the difference is that older children (married or unmarried)/brothers and sisters are subject to a family preference classification and visa quotas....that is the difference

YMMV
