    Yes, if you can prove that they were U.S. residents in 2006 and 2007.

    Then you CANNOT claim them as dependents for tax years 2006 and 2007, because, to e claimed as dependents on your U.S. tax return, your parents MUST be residents of the U.S.

    Two months per year for two years is NOT enough time to establish residency.
