They would need to file for Adjustment of Status (I-485) to be able to remain in the US. This should have been done along with the I-130 but it can be done now by including a copy of the NOA1 along with the AOS application. You do not need to wait until the I-130 has been approved. You should have a read of the guide ( this is the guide for a spouse doing AOS and I-130 but the process is the same for a Parent as they are both immidiate relatives) http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2
