Okay so I can fund their visit and no my parents cant leave her behind for such long period since she is single but thanks for the information.

A decision will have to be made. At 32 your sister is considered an adult and won't be able to come along with your parents. Unless one parent stays behind with her they will have to come to the US to become permanent residents then file for her, which will take several years.

Thank you for clarifying so I can fill out ds 160 for all of them. And that was the reason I asked if I can apply for their Immigration while they are here but now its clear they have to go back and then only I can start their immigration process.

You can apply while they are in the US or abroad. But they have to leave as normal.

It's generally suggested to apply while they are abroad...otherwise USCIS has a nasty habit of mistakenly treating it as if AOS will be filed and end up not sending the I-130 to NVC after approval.

If the daughter can not be left then seems no point applying for the Parents to immigrate.

The current wait for an LPR parent to petition for an unmarried daughter over age 21 is 7 years.  

 

There is no way for your sister to immigrate with your parents.  If they want to immigrate, then your sister will be left behind for a very long time.
