In general, a U.S. citizen child who has reached age 21 may petition for a parent who entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). This is true even if the parent may have long overstayed his initial visa. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the process for adjustment of status in the Immediate Relative visa category, it would be wise for you and your father to work with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, would be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies, and to provide representation throughout the process.
