The current income requirement for a household of two is $15, 612 annually... i dont know though to sponsor your parents if you have to meet the guide lines for a household of 4 people... if so you need to add 8,000 dollars more on for your parents... to make your income around 24,000 a year....

and they usually go by last years tax forms... so if you can see yourself making more this year than last year i might wait... but thats just my opion
