Yes, they have been in the US before. It's not asking under what status they came, just if they ever entered. This is Q.45.

Q.46 only applies if they are in the US at the time you file the I-130.

Q.47-50 should be completed.

When you answer yes and on the 2nd page it's asking under what category he came to states. There is no option for B2 Visa and most are for immigrant category. Please advise how shall i proceed for this question

While you file separate petitions,  once they get to NVC,  you can ask to have them be "joined" so that they will move through the system together and the interviews will occur same day 

Hopefully any way !! Unfortunately not a guarantee .

so that question does not apply  q46 is only for those in US.  I suggest get a lawyer help

That question is obvious for those who came to states through Immigrant VISA. Next page is asking for Alien # and the Visa Category which makes sense. This option is not valid for my parents since they never came to states through immigrant visa. Only through tourist visa. I looked at all category and there is no option for tourist visa and all categories are for immigrant visa type.

The online filling for I-130 is new, so USCIS will need some time to fix these error. Please print out a paper form of I-130 and compare it side by side, so you can get better ideal what you need to fill out.

Thank you for the suggestion. I had to say yes and skip other questions. After i'm submitting evidence and next question says to fill out info below

 

Religious Record
School Record
Census Record
 

These questions are not in form but online and i believe i need to skip those questions.
