An I-130 approval does not give the beneficiary any rights to come to the US in order to adjust status. The waiting time under the F-3 category for US citizen parents filing for married sons and daughters is approximately 12 years. For you to enter the US during the waiting time to live and work with your children, you would have to qualify for some other category that allows faster entry with such rights.
