I apologize if this question has been asked before, I tried to search for it without success. I am currently in the process of becoming a citizen and would like to petition for my parents who are already in the US. The problem is that they are currently without a status because they lost their L1 visa status a few years ago, what extra steps/form would I need in order to complete this process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated it.

Thank you!

If they entered legally (on an L-1, for example) and can prove it with an I-94 or similar, then they can file for AoS after you have become a US citizen.

Follow the spouse guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=i130guide2 but substitute "parent" for "spouse".
