Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case, advise you of your options and make sure that the necessary paperwork and documentation is presented so as not to delay the process.

What were the conditions of their voluntary departure? How long did they have to stay outside the US? If it is 5 years or 10 years then obviously that time period has not yet passed.

Your parents will need an I-601 waiver to be granted an immigrant visa. You should consult with an immigration attorney for an assessment of the case.

It appears as if your parents will need to file a waiver for unlawful presence. Do your grandparents live in the US? Do they have legal status?
