Hello.
I will become US citizen this year and I'd like bring my parents to US to live with me. What's the process that I have to do? And how long will it take for them to get the green card? Can they stay with me before process starts?
Thanks!

How Do I Bring My Parents to Live in the United States? (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=81c6194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)
Better have them wait in your home country because the interview will be conducted at US consulate. If they stay in US and overstay their visas, they will have big problem.
The whole process takes between 12-24 months depending on the country they live.
