My parents have tourist visa. What would be the correct way to bring them to the US?

Should I apply I-130 for each one of them while they wait in their country or can they fly and enter as a tourist in the US and then apply for a I-485 at the same time for a I-130 while staying in the US?

 

Thank you

It is fraud to enter the US on a tourist visa with intent to stay and adjust status.  Don't do this.

 

File I-130 for your parents.  They can do short visits to the US during the process but they must return to their country after every visit.
