MY dad was deported to Trinidad after living here is the US for a long time. It has been 11 years since his deportation. Can I sponsor him (I am a US citizen) and how long does it take

You may be able to petition for a parent if you are a U.S. citizen over the age of 21. The process takes approximately 1 year from the date of filing the immigrant visa petition. We would need additional information regarding your father’s deportation to ensure he would be eligible to receive an immigrant visa or to determine if any waivers were necessary.
