  • According to the U.S Department of State and the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, your parents are not required a sponsor to *visit* the United States. Sponsorship is required "If you are bringing a relative to live permanently in the United States...you must accept legal responsibility for financially supporting this family member. You accept this responsibility and become your relative's sponsor by completing and signing a document called an affidavit of support. This legally enforceable responsibility lasts until your relative becomes a U.S. citizen or can be credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years.)" [http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/affsupp.htm]. Otherwise, it sounds like obtaining a visa is sufficient if your parents' "purpose of their stay in the United States is 90 days or less for tourism or business".
