Hi,
Can someone please suggest me with my situation.
My parents are visiting me in the US on visitor visa. My sister is an US citizen but I'm in H-1B. However, my parents didn't mention anything about my sister in OF-156 form. Again, visa counselor issued visa assuming that my parents would return to their homeland after visiting me.
Now, my question is:
Q. Is it okay for my parents to file I-130 based on my sister's status within their first/second week of arrival and wait till they get their approval?

After their visitor visa expires, they would staying illegally.

So it is better to leave the country and wait there.

INS might suspect your intentions if your sister applied for them while they are in the US.
