Yes, you can certainly petition for your father's permanent residence however the process will take about 1 year if the father lives outside the US. If you are going to do it on your own, you can print out the necessary forms from the USCIS website. If you are going to work with an immigration attorney, he/she will draft all the necessary paperwork for you.
