Will the I130(s) even be processed if they have not returned their current GCs via I407(s)?

My father's got approved recently.

Sorry if I am unable to understand it easily. Actually long ago I have heard a couple of people put back on plane when they spent more than a year overseas. It might be obsolete or a rare case. But I appreciate your help l. Thank you so much. 

Sure but you are also hearing about all these other cases that people have used their valid green card to reentry the US. You have been given options - fly them here via a secondary country or have them wait a couple of years in Pakistan. You have now all the info you need to make a decision. I would like to have family with me more than I would be afraid of a impossible denial of entry but that's what I take out of the situation, you going to have to figure it out for yourself what's the best choice for you and your parents. They are not illegals crossing a border, they are permanent residents (and yes, should've stayed inside more than outside but too late now). and that gives them right to entry even IF and that's a big IF they are paroled wit ha future NTA.

This just shows that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing when it comes to USCIS - as many reported in the forums, sometimes not even a secondary inspection happens when they land in the US because whoever looked at their GC saw it to be valid and just waved them through.
