You need a copy of your naturalization papers or your US passport to show US citizenship. It should take about a year.

You do not need to send in photos to prove relationship.. that's for the spousal categories etc. They do not need to sign the form however you are required to sign the form if someone helped you then they too should fill in the designated area on the form.

it's actually quicker when outside the USA. They can visit while the petition is pending however should travel with the necessary documents showing ties to their countries just in case the "intent" to return to their country is questioned.
