I-130 starts the process. Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/immigration-parents-overview

Be sure to read the instructions for each form....the I-130 instructions has a checklist as well for supporting documents necessary.

You will need to file a I-130 with supporting documents showing your family relationship. You must complete a separate form for each parent.

 

If your I-130 petition is approved, and your parent is outside the United States, their case will be transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC), which will collect fees, supporting documents, and online immigrant visa application (Form DS-260). During the NVC processing, you will need to provide financial information to show that you can financially support your parents. If your income is insufficient, you may need to find a co-sponsor. Your parents will also need to provide police certificates from all countries where they resided for a year or more.

 

Then, your parent will be notified to go to the local U.S. consulate for a visa interview to complete visa processing. Your parents will need to undergo a medical examination. They may also need to provide additional documents depending on specifics of their case and on the country where they live.

 

Income requirements for the petition would be $30,750 and this can only include your income, not your parents.
