Sponsorship of parents

[immihelp]

Good day

I have a few questions regarding sponsorship of immediate relatives (parents).

1. Once a person receives his/her US Citizenship through naturalization, how long after that can he/she apply to sponsor his/her immediate relatives (parents)?


2. Can an application for a temporary work permit be lodged at the same time as the application for sponsorship?


3. After lodgement of the sponsorship application, how long does it take to be approved and to issue an immigrant visa?


4. After lodgement for a temporary work permit, how long does it take to be approved and to issue the permit?

Hope to hear from you soon.
