My parents have legal status. Can I file a petition for their Green Card months before I turn 21 to speed up the process? I was thinking by the time their case is up for a decision, I will be already 21.

You must be 21 on the date of filing. If you file papers for your parents prior to your turning 21, the petitions will unfortunately be denied.
