我下周宣誓入籍,是否可以马上给父母申请绿卡?
-Yes.

父母现在国内,整个申请过程大概需要多长时间?
-Normally, 6 month to one year.

父母07年来探亲,延长过一次,总共在美一年,08年3月回国。09年11月再次申请探亲签证,被拒绝。我现在的选择有二:一是我马上宣誓入籍,然后尽快申请他们的绿卡,他们只能在国内办了。二是我更改宣誓日期,希望他们在4月分再申请探亲签证(有人说,距离上次回国2年,再签的希望更大),然后我再宣誓入籍(据说变成公民后,父母办探亲签证就没戏了)。
-You can take the oath first, and then you parents may try the b2 visa application. If they can not get the visa, you may file the I-130 for their imigration visa. Your US citizenship does not affect their B2 visa application. Only if you file i-130, then will their B2 application be affected.
