You have to wait until you are 21 (assuming you are a USC). Adjustment of Status An Adjustment of Status Application must be filed. This application will hopefully have the end result of obtaining lawful permanent residency. Once it is filed, the work-permit will be issued in a few months. Afterwards, in about 6 months to 1 year, the final interview will be conducted.

The earliest that you can petition for your parents is when you turn 21 years of age. You will need to submit an I-130 petition on their behalf and they will need to apply for adjustment of status concurrently on form I-485.

You have to wait until you are 21 years old to petition for your parents. Unfortunately, you cannot help them now, but the good news is that it sounds like you will be able to help them once you turn 21 years old.
