Is it 2-3 years wait  for children under 21?

 

A bit longer usually, maybe 3-4 years, but if they age out of F2A category and are in F2B category, then it's a much longer wait as @Boiler mentioned above. Possibly the youngest will get through in time before s/he ages out of F2A category though.

And what about if the age out?

F2b assuming not married, well they can marry if the parent has naturalised.

See Boiler's post above - his guess was 12-15 years. 

 

It will depend on the kids exact ages though i.e. is the 17 year old only just 17 or about to turn 18? It will also depend on when your parents actually move and petition for them - you expect your Dad to get an interview soon, but as a Pakistani male he may well be put in AP and that will delay things, so by the time he gets his visa the kids could be another year older. Etc, etc. Too many variables to know for sure, I guess all you can do is talk to your parents and make sure they're ok with the potential delay in your siblings being able to move. It's worth having a full and frank conversation with them before they move IMO, it would be awful if they moved and then regretted it.

 

Good luck.

The middle one looks to me F2b and the younger F2a but no way of being certain.

21 adjusted according to CSPA.

I’m not gonna petition her she’s gonna apply herself 

I didn’t say you’re petitioning her.   I said you’re petitioning the rest of her family, which will reduce her chances of getting a non-immigrant visa.
