Is it true that when a US citizen turns 18 years old and their parents are not citizens, they can ask for their parents to become citizens?
Sorry if the question is hard to understand.

It is 18 or of age (I've seen people say 21, but thought it was 18), and it is for residency, I believe, not citizenship, and there is a cap on how many can come each year, which is why the process has years to go to catch up. Letting family come was a huge expansion of our immigration and we didn't want too many coming, too fast.
You need to check out the immigraiton service web page
From the Muffin Man's link "Who is Eligible to Sponsor a Parent?
If you are a U.S. citizen and at least 21 years old, you are eligible to petition to bring your parents to live and work permanently in the United States."
That is residence, not citizenship.

I know rich Koreans are doing that they come here to have their babies and some stay illegally and some go home to wait for their kid to grow up, hoping to become citizens. I no a congressmen is trying to stop it.

They can petition for their parents to become legal residents and then citizens.

Yes and no. The age is 21...then you can petition the USCIS for citizenship for your non-citizen parents.
Let me know if this helps.

There's probably some immigration lawyer pestering some judge with that question as we speak...
