It says your Naturalization is pending and since your timeline isn't filled out, I'm guessing you're a permanent resident and GC holder.

You can only petition for your parents once you're a US Citizen. Then you'd file the I-130 and I-485 if they wanted to adjust status while in the US.

I am a U.S. Citizen that time line needs an update

If I am not wrong I 30 is for people outside U.S. They already are in U.S.

Ah, okay then you'd need to file an I-130 and an I-485 for each of your parents. Along with that, you need an I-864 and a G-325a for you and each of your parents. You have to still submit the I-130 even if they're in the US because then that shows that they have an immediate visa available to them as parents of a US Citizen.

You would also need to provide an I-693 (medical) and if you want an I-765 and I-131 since I'm not sure if you want your parents to start working or travel outside the country while the the petition is pending.

You will also run into the trouble, of proving that they didn't obtain their visitor's visa with the intent of staying and adjusting status since, that would be immigration fraud.

Each parent will need their own application.

Immigrant intent is irrelevant when an Immediate Relative of a USC adjust status. Matter of Batista and Matter of Cavazos.

They will NOT run into trouble because they do not need to prove they didn't commit fraud. The burden is not on them to prove they are innocent.

So means I only file I 485 correct?

No. You need more than just an I-485.

Read people's replies telling you that you need an I-130, I-485, I-864, etc. Read the Guides.

Incorrect. As stated by multiple posters above, you will need to file both the I-130 and the I-485. You will need one of each for each parent.
