Start with Filing an I-130 for both of them.

Probably over a year or two.

 

Check out the I-130 guides but nothing starts until you file the petitions.

First step is filing the I-130 petitions (2 total; 1 per parent): https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

That comes up later during embassy step: https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html "Table 1: Vaccine Requirements According to Applicant Age"

Keep in mind that health care is very expensive in the US, and that they will not qualify for medicare, so you need to have a solid plan to pay for that.  It can be as much as $1k/mo per person, just for the premiums.

Manila very backed up on IR5 interviews.  We filed July 2019, DQ’d March 2021 and no interview in sight yet.
