First you can't apply for their citizenship but may be able to apply for their lawful permanent resident status. The fact that they entered illegally is going to be a major hurdle and they may not qualify for lawful status without leaving the country because of this. However, they may qualify if a petition was filed on their behalf before April 30th, 2001. They may also qualify for cancellation of removal if they are in immigration court but this has it's own risks or they may qualify for asylum or withholding of removal. It would be a huge mistake for you to attempt this without an attorney. Also, you should be careful because their a lot of problems with scams of people in your situation. This is because you obviously care about your parents and people may promise quick and easy answers in exchange for money. I suggest you speak to an immigration attorney to discuss your options.

Yes, you can apply for them individually. However, I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney as your parents have inadmissibility issues due to them being illegal. For a free consultation, please contact my office at 904-371-3538 or email me at [email protected].
