My parents have been to US multiple times on tourist vis and has no visa violations at all. Any advise whether it is OK to travel to US with approved Form I-130 and not having applied for AOS in India?

Yes, but be advised that entry into the US is at the discretion of the officer and is not guaranteed simply because your parents have a valid visa.Canadian on F-1 married to USC (SSM)

Thanks manhattanite for your response. I definitely understand what you said. I was also wondering if anyone has gone through this experience. My concern is if the officer will ask questions on what they are coming to US without filing AOS in India and if they intent to file in the US.Comment

Why are you concerned? The answer to those questions should be easy and straightforward.
The fact that you’re worried leads me to believe that something suspicious might happen. I strongly recommend that your parents be honest with these questions when asked. Being denied entry sounds bad, but trust me immigration fraud is a lot worse.Canadian on F-1 married to USC (SSM)
