hi

first of all, are you a USC? Only USC can file for parents

if you are, then you will send the i130 for each of them and the documents that go with this form

they are 2 separate petitions

For goodness sake, a quick look on Google and the USCIS page will get you where you need to go. Do your own work.

Lol why are you uptight? Didnt I ask a valid question? Thanks for the link though ?

It's not really a valid question if you have all the information at your fingertips both here and on the USCIS page that you didn't bother looking up yourself.

I wouldn't be as "uptight" if you were asking a specific question about something one of the forms was asking for.

Do your own work.
