In most cases, you should be able to file for your parents’ green cards if you are a US citizen and as long as they are not inadmissible to the US. A note of caution – please note that visitors to the US upon entry are not supposed to have an intention to immigrate as they make a representation when passing inspection that they are only going to be in the US for a period of visit. Therefore, steps towards immigration within 90 days of entry may bring questions from immigration officers as to your parents’ intent at the time of entry.
