You can petition for your parents but if your income is insufficient, you will need to get a joint sponsor to sign the affidavit of support on their behalf. You will still need to provide your tax returns and sign the affidavit of support since, as the petitioner, you are also a sponsor.
They may include: Voter Registration Cards: Cards indicating registration in the individual's domicile state. Tax Returns: Recent tax returns showing the individual's residence for tax purposes. Bank Statements: Statements from local banks with the individual's name and address.
An affidavit of support is a legally enforceable contract, and the sponsor's responsibility usually lasts until the family member or other individual either becomes a U.S. citizen, or is credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years).

An Affidavit of Support, also called the Form I-864, is a document an individual signs to accept financial responsibility for the applicant who is coming to live in the United States. The person who signs the Affidavit of Support is also called the “sponsor.”
If you are living outside the United States, you will need to prove that you have significant ties to the U.S., or that you plan to re-establish domicile. Under some circumstances, if you've been living abroad but have been working for certain U.S. organizations, you may still be eligible to claim U.S. domicile.
The only acceptable evidence includes one of the following: Copy of U.S. passport (current or expired) Copy of U.S. civil issued birth certificate. Copy of alien registration card. Copy of naturalization/citizenship certificate.
Government-issued identification is the primary proof of domicile. It could be a driver's license or state identification card showing my residential address.
A joint sponsor must meet all the same requirements as you, except the joint sponsor does not need to be related to the immigrant. The joint sponsor (or the joint sponsor and his or her household) must reach the 125% income requirement alone.
