I just filed I-130 for my parents a week ago. Was an easy process. For this category the USCIS site said there's no backlog or waiting time - it's supposed to be current.
Friends that have done it tell me it took 6 months. By looking at the PD in process now at the NVCs I guesstimated it would take me 7 -12 months.

For health insurance you could start with an Insubuy plan so they have coverage right away, which should allow you time to buy from ACA market place. They wouldn't be eligible for Medicaid / Medicare so Obamacare is a great option.
If you can prove they have no income in the US you can even avail of federal tax credits for people below poverty line that should significantly reduce premiums

It’s a straightforward process, but the waiting time varies. If you can show strong income that can support your relatives you might be able to get them a greencard in as little as 5 years but usually it will take around 10 years or longer.

The quickest way is through a spouse and even that can take a year or longer.

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.
