You have to be a USC for doing that. You have to wait and apply for naturalization then you can submit a I130 form for your parents.

As mentioned earlier, you can't sponsor your parents until you become a US citizen, but you can send them an invitation letter with you and your husband for a Tourist visa, with that I should say the visa is more based on their merit in India, showing proof that they have strong link to India and they will come back after the visit.

For all folks it's much easier to get tourist visa as they consulate knows most of them don't want to stay in the states, they would rather stay in their home country with all the care from the family, relative, familiar faces,and should i say maid servants, as such they are much better off in India.

Your wife cannot sponsor your parents. Only you can; and that is after you become a USC.

[john_and_marlene 162]

You have to wait until you are a citizen to petition for your parents.

This is a double post. Folks already answered your question.

No, you cannot sponsor them until you are a USC.

No, your USC spouse cannot sponsor them at all.

The answers will not change.

You do not apply for your parents visitors (B2) visa... they must apply and qualify for the visa on there own merits

Q : How Can I Invite Someone to the U.S. to Visit?

People often ask how they can help a family member, relative or friend get a visa to visit them in the United States. We appreciate their desire to help and understand that sometimes the need for a visit can be urgent.

Under U.S. law, though, applicants for visitor visas must apply on their own to visit the United States.

To qualify for a visitor visa, applicants must:

*

Complete and sign the required application forms

*

Bring evidence that their visit is temporary and that they will return home after their legally authorized stay, and

*

Undergo security clearance procedures

We understand that you may want to help with the visa process. But it doesn't help the applicant to write a letter of invitation or guarantee their departure from the U.S. after their visit is over. A consular officer from the U.S. Department of State (not USCIS) evaluates every visa application on its own merits according to the law. You can be most helpful by making sure the applicant has all the information they need to submit a correct application.
