You should also research cost of medical insurance in US for elderly parents.

do i complete one i130 for both parents or 2. 1 for each parent?

since the fee will change April 1st ,(Monday(  a new form may appear with the costs of new fee /USCIS seems to like updating forms

 

1 petition with all fees for each parent

No, they're immediate relatives, so it's much quicker than that. Maybe a year or so for the I-130 to be approved, then the NVC/consulate stage will depend on the wait for an interview at their consulate - could be as quick as 3 months, or as long as 2 years.
