I think (I hope) everyone here knows it... or, at least, they know where to look for the dates.
Yes, a citizen parent can apply for a married son (the spouse and children would be beneficiaries in the case). The form to file is I-130. You can get info at www.uscis.gov.
Currently, the waiting period is 8+ years (double that time hi is from MEXICO or PHILIPPINES). Here is the website for current visa bulletin: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frv...etin_3219.html.
