Incorrect information - He can file the paperwork once he has his green card, but the processing time for that preference category is lengthy. Once he gets his citizenship, it will be a briefer wait. However, he can file the paperwork as a green card holder, and get the process started. Then once he gets his citizenship, the preference category will change and the visa will be available sooner.

So what category is a parent?

You are wrong. LPR can't petition for a parent, only a USC can.

Your link does not have anything to do with parents.

This is the correct link:

http://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/parents/bringing-parents-live-united-states-permanent-residents

To petition for your parents (mother or father) to live in the United States as green card holders, you must be a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old. Green card holders (permanent residents) may not petition to bring parents to live permanently in the United States.
